DEFENDER

DEFENDER® is an Organic Certified Botanical Pesticide to control Sucking Pests and also effective plant food.

Sucking pests pierce plants with slender, sharp-pointed mouthparts and suck the plant sap. Withdrawal of the sap results in minute white, brown, or red spotting on the leaves, fruits, or stems of the plant. It may also cause curling leaves, deformed fruit, general wilting, browning, and drying of the entire plant. Many of these pests are also resistant to pesticides.

Some of these pests are important virus vectors, transmitting a range of plant virus. Virus-infected plants cannot be cured. However, control measures can be used to prevent or reduce the levels of the disease in crops by removing, or avoiding the sources of virus infection, and minimizing spread by these sucking pests.

Thrips

Thrips are minute insects that feed on pollen and tender plant tissue. They typically hide in the cracks and crevices of leaf buds, junctures, and flowers. They rasp the tissue and suck up the exuding sap.

Red Spider Mites

Red spider mites are a garden pest that affects a wide variety of plants.

A plant that is infested by red spider mites will start to look unhealthy and will have a dusty appearance to the undersides of their leaves. Close inspection will reveal that the dust is actually moving and is in fact the spider mites. The plant may also have some webbing on the underside or on the branches of plant

Aphids

Often called plant lice, are small, soft-bodied insects. They range in color from black to green to yellow. Their numbers may greatly increase in a short time. They may cover the entire surface of a leaf or stem. They can be vectors of viruses.
