DactyProt - Anti-Caterpillar from Prot-eco

DactyProt natural anti-caterpillar insecticide by Prot-eco
Thrips, caterpillars, mealybugs, aphids, whiteflies

DactyProt is a natural product from Prot-eco's line, specifically designed to protect your crops from pests, especially caterpillars and phytophagous insects. This innovative product is formulated with botanical extracts from the Urticaceae and Lamiaceae plant families, leveraging the benefits of amino acids derived from these extracts.

Suitable for organic farming, DactyProt is biodegradable, leaves no residues, and helps develop endogenous resistance in plants against external agents such as insects and lepidopterans. Its broad-spectrum formula offers dual action: it works by contact, degrading the chitin in the insects’ exoskeleton, and by ingestion, causing hyperexcitation that affects their nervous system.

Product Benefits

• 100% natural and biodegradable: safe for the environment and leaves no chemical residues.
• Certified for organic farming.
• Develops endogenous resistance: strengthens plants against future threats.
• Broad spectrum: effective against various insect and lepidopteran species.
• Easy application: can be combined with surfactants for enhanced efficacy.
• Dual action: contact and ingestion.

Composition

• Free amino acids: 6.0% w/w
• Total nitrogen (N): 0.7% w/w

How to Use

DactyProt is applied foliarly during low-light hours (preferably early morning or late afternoon) to prevent rapid evaporation and maximize absorption. Follow these steps:

1. Preparation: Dilute 3 ml of DactyProt per liter of water.
2. Application: Spray abundantly, focusing on the underside of the leaves where pests often concentrate.
3. Frequency: Apply when pests are present. For severe infestations, combine with a surfactant such as Mobet or EsencialProt to improve penetration and reach hard-to-access parts of the plant.

Usage Recommendations

• Do not apply in the presence of pollinators to avoid impacting bees or other beneficial insects.
• Repeat treatment if infestation symptoms persist or as a preventive measure in crops prone to recurrent pests.

With DactyProt, protect your crops sustainably while respecting the ecosystem's natural balance.
