SUREFIRE PRESERVE 120 SC Insecticide is formulated as a suspension concentrate that is suitable for application in water by aircraft, ground rig or knapsack. It has a unique mode of action (Group 5 insecticide) and controls insect pests that are resistant to conventional insecticides. The active constituent is derived from the fermentation of a naturally occurring micro-organism. It has low toxicity to mammals, birds, fish, crustaceans and many predatory insect species. It can be used in integrated pest management (IPM) and conventional insect control programs. Surefire Preserve 120 SC Insecticide works by both contact and ingestion. Exposed insects stop feeding almost immediately but may take up to 3 days to die. A major advantage of Preserve when compared with many other insecticides is its relatively selective activity against target insects, such as Lepidoptera and Diptera species, coupled with generally lesser activity against many beneficial insect predators and other non-target species. The active ingredient, spinosad, is broken down readily by sunlight. When applied to leaves, some spinosad will be absorbed. However, it does not readily spread from leaves to the rest of the plant. Preserve 120SC is rainfast only after complete drying on plant surfaces, and is suitable for both dilute & concentrate spraying.
