95% success with powdery mildew and with Thrips the most difficult of the soft bodied insects to kill.
We are delighted with the results and stand behind our claims.
We also make claims about soft bodied insects. Of those Thrips are the most difficult to kill.
These results demonstrated that our claims are well validated by the experiment.
Thrips are notoriously difficult to manage due to their rapid reproduction and ability to hide deep within plant tissue. They are the most difficult of the soft bodied insects to eliminate. Cornell’s thrips efficacy trial used the “Tap Test” to quantify active adult thrips per plant.
The findings were striking:
• Control (water-only) plants showed extremely high thrips density.
• LCPT-treated plants showed less than 1% thrips density after application.
• The study measured an over 95% kill rate within 24 hours.
For growers battling thrips outbreaks and outbreaks of other soft bodied insects, this level of control—achieved without harsh chemicals—is a game changer.
