Use of TERCOL:

Biological Crop Care in agriculture, horticulture, gardens and parks, where harmful soil insects and larvae occurs.

Composition:

TERCOL is a highly concentrated composition of specific herbal concentrate, based on water and soy oil. Available in liquid, grain and granular form.

Mode of action:

TERCOL can be used as an indirect expulsion of harmful soil insects and larvae, such as weevils, black (or greasy) cutworm, wireworms, copper worm, white grubs and leatherjackets.
TERCOL will be absorbed by the roots and by the soil. Partly thanks to the present root stimulating and nutritional ingredients the roots, leaves and soil will develop an increased resistance. The ingredients in the product have, in addition to a soil improvement and a crop enhancing effect, an indirect effect on pests and diseases. The treated areas are no longer attractive to them. So the insects and their larvae are indirectly inhibited in their development, because they are driven to greater depths where they will not find any food. The crops will develop their own defense system by increasing the resistance and will show a healthy growth.

Application:

We recommend to apply the product as a preventative, especially when in the past there has been much inconvenience and damage.
But when damage and deterioration is detected, the product can still, on targeted advice, be successfully applied.
For optimal operation moist conditions are required. Otherwise, watering is a necessity.
The liquid product, based on water, can be added by watering, sprinkling, spraying, hosing or injection.
Grains and granules can be scattered and/or mixed with the soil. Application using dry injection can be performed with a special treatment. If species are vulnerable, TERCOL can be mixed with the soil in the plant hole.
A follow-up treatment may be necessary (depending on weather and disease pressure).
