FAQ
Is It Suitable for Organic Farming?
Yes. A positive opinion supports the statement that it is suitable for use in organic farming in accordance with Regulations (EU) 2021/1165 and 2018/848, as amended.
How Many Litres of Spray Liquid Does the 150 ml Pack Produce?
There is no single answer for all uses. The dose is specified in cc/stremma together with a specific spray-liquid volume and varies by crop and target. Use only the corresponding table on the label.
Can It Be Used on Ornamentals?
Yes, only for approved ornamental uses. A small-scale test must be carried out before general application, as stated in the official decision.
