Know before you buy
Once applied, the plant absorbs the botanical extracts through its root system. This distributes the rosemary-based formula throughout the plant's structure, making the foliage unappealing to pests so they stop feeding and leave.
Yes. Because SNS 209 is made from 100% pure, food-grade botanical extracts that are classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe), it is suitable for use on edible crops.
This formula is primarily designed to deter spider mites and white flies by altering the taste of the plant tissue, making it an effective preventative barrier against these common infestations.
SNS 209 qualifies for exemption under FIFRA section 25(b) because it is composed of ingredients that the EPA has determined pose minimum risk to human health and the environment.
The systemic nature of the product provides long-term protection as it remains within the plant's vascular system. For best results, follow the application frequency recommended on the label to maintain consistent levels of the botanical barrier.
