Are mites and other insects a persistent challenge in your greenhouse operation? Try ClearLeaf™ Insecticide/Miticide, an innovative solution from Central Life Sciences. It not only tackles a variety of mite species and other listed insects but also prioritizes resistance management, providing a reliable and comprehensive defense for your plants and your profits.
We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Rodney Morrow, Regional Sales Manager, to gain insights into the impact ClearLeaf™ Insecticide/Miticide is making. Morrow stated, " ClearLeaf™ Insecticide is going to revolutionize the way we deal with mites in our nurseries and greenhouses. Mite control is a challenging task because there are various types of mites, and there are products that are formulated only for mite control. However, ClearLeaf Insecticide is a game-changer as its formulation includes dual modes of action and a synergist, Piperonyl Butoxide.”
