How It Works
Grandevo CG and Venerate CG are biological insecticides derived from natural bacteria, effectively managing a variety of challenging pests when used in a 7-day rotation. Venerate CG targets pests through exoskeleton degradation, interrupting molting and controlling eggs, nymphs, and adults. Grandevo CG provides pest repellency, disrupts digestion, and reduces egg-laying and fecundity. Pests stop feeding upon application, offering fast and reliable protection.
Key Pests Managed:
- Mites (including twospotted, broad, and russet mites)
- Aphids
- Thrips
- Whiteflies
- Mealybugs
Application Instructions & Best Practices
For best results, apply every 3 days when pests are present until control is achieved (typically within 7-10 days). For ongoing prevention, use a 5 to 7-day maintenance schedule.
- Shelf Life: 3 years for all CG products
- Optimal pH: Maintain a pH of 6-8 for best results
- Rates: Use the rate specified on the product label. Lower rates are recommended for light infestations, and higher rates are suitable for severe outbreaks.
Mixing Tips:
For efficient pest control, use a non-ionic surfactant within a pH of 6.0-8.0. Proper coverage is key—ensure applications reach the undersides of leaves. High-pressure sprayers (100+ psi) improve results by delivering finer droplets. Tank-mixing Regalia CG with Grandevo CG or Venerate CG reduces labor and enhances application efficiency.
Integrated Preventative Maintenance Program
Implementing Grandevo CG early in the season provides proactive insect control. For optimal effect, use a foliar rate of 2-4 tbsp./gallon (of water per 1,000 sq. ft.), and apply every 7-14 days based on pest pressure, maintaining water pH between 6.0 and 8.0.
