Description
Potassium Silicate Fungicide/Insecticide/Miticide
Target Pests: Two Spotted Spider Mites, European Red Mites, Aphids, Whiteflies and other insects
Target Fungal Diseases: Powdery Mildew, Botrytis
Active Ingredient: Potassium Silicate 29%
: Sil-MATRIX provides broad-spectrum resistance management tool for control of insects and diseases in hemp production. Exceptional crop safety will not burn even young plants.
Compatibility: Compatible with liquid sulfur products, horticultural oils, DMI and Strobilurin fungicides
Mode of Action: Amorphous silica deposits in the leaf apoplast which prevents penetration of fungi, becomes less palatable to insects. Silica acts as a desiccant (commonly used in packaging to reduce humidity).
Application rate: Apply 0.25-1.0 % or 1-4 quarts per 100 gal no sooner than every 7 says. Use non-ionic surfactant. 20 – 250 gallons per acre while using adequate gallonage to ensure good coverage.
REI: 4 hrs
PHI: 0 days. Do not make post-harvest applications
For Best Results: Apply Sil-MATRIX on a preventive schedule for disease control. Begin applications when environmental conditions are conducive to disease development. Repeat applications no sooner than every seven days. When conditions are ideal for rapid development of disease, it is recommended that Sil-MATRIX be used in a rotational program with other registered fungicides.
For mite and insect control, begin applications when pests first appear and repeat applications as necessary to maintain control (but no sooner than every seven days).
Sil-MATRIX is sensitive to low pH materials. Dilute Sil-MATRIX before adding other materials to tank. Target pH for Sil-MATRIX solution should be 4-5 or 7-8. Avoid pH of 6.
Apply Sil-MATRIX before leaf hardening and use non-ionic surfactant at recommended label rates.
Storage: Keep pesticide in original container. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store product above 40°F. Do not transfer in aluminum, fiberglass, copper, brass, zinc, or galvanized containers. Protect from excessive heat. Store in a cool, dry place.
