Argical™ Pro
A biocontrol insecticide
Made out of 99% high-temperature calcined, natural white clay, Argical Pro helps to limit the occurrence of insect pests on your crops. This is thanks to its crystalline structure, high purity, exceptional fineness, and great whiteness. With its physical mode of action against insect pests, Argical Pro is a mechanical insecticide that avoids resistance issues in crop protection.
Intended for purely mechanical use, it must be used in a strictly preventive manner, coating the fruit or plant of interest before the presence of the targeted pest. Applied as a wettable powder using spray equipment, the product adheres to the outer layer of the plant. After application and drying, Argical Pro creates a white and inert protective layer on the surface of fruits and vegetation. This layer will disrupt the visual and olfactory recognition of the plant by the insects, turning them away from the treated plant. This layer also acts as a natural barrier that prevents female insects from laying their eggs.
Targeted pests:
- Apricot aphid
- Cherry aphid
- Cherry fly
- Citrus leafhopper
- Nectarine aphid
- Olive fly
- Peach aphid
- Pear psylla
- Plum aphid
- Pome fruit aphid
- Vine leafhopper
Argical Pro is an environmentally friendly mineral solution that can be used in organic farming under Regulation (EU) 2018/848, taking action as a powerful complementary option for any Integrated Pest Management program.
