NoPests Madex®2 60ml
Description
Contains 2×1012 CpGV/L (codling moth granulosis virus) in the form of a suspension concentrate.
A biological agent for the control of Codling Moth in Pipfruit The formulation only contains organic additives, therefore the application of MADEX produces no chemical residues in the food chain and can be used in organic farming. Madex 2 has been used in commercial apple and pear orchards for Codling Moth control for more than 20 years. It is an organic product based on a live organism – the Codling Moth Granulosis virus otherwise known as CpGV – a naturally occurring pathogen of the codling moth.
Madex 2 is a diluted form of Madex 3 especially formulated for small orchards and home gardeners. It controls Codling moth caterpillars in their earliest juvenile stages before they begin to burrow into the fruit, it has a highly specific effect on fruit maggots and thus does not impact bees. Once caterpillars have burrowed deep within the fruit, they become impossible to control. Madex 2 will not control adult moths, therefore, early application provides the best results.
Directions For Use:
Make the first application when codling moth larvae are hatching. This is normally from early to mid-October. Repeat applications at 7-14 day intervals till mid-December. A second infestation of young caterpillars may occur in mid-January. Madex 2 used in consecutive seasons has a cumulative effect in the reduction of the codling moth population. Madex 2 must be stored in the fridge
