A biorational insecticide for the control of Date Palm pests.
Matrixine is a biorational insecticide for the control of insect pests of the Date palm and other crops. It contains Oxymatrine which is a naturally occurring compound found in the root of the sophora plant root. The compound has a strong antifeedant effect as well as contact toxicity for certain insect pests, protecting the crop and helping to control infestations.
Matrixine controls target pests by contact or by ingestion. Treated insects stop feeding quickly, preventing the pests from further damaging the trees. Matrixine leaves a protective layer on the leaves of plants and makes the crop less attractive to pests.
Matrixine can be used to protect date palms, potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, cucumber, peppers, beans, aubergine, brassicas, soft fruits and pome fruit. It can be used on both open field and protected cultivars.
