Description
Product Name: CREO-BIT – Ultimate Pest Protection for Palms
Introduction: CREO-BIT is a powerful blend of coal tar oils and minerals meticulously crafted to create a consistent, protective, and adhesive solution. This unique composition ensures long-lasting binding properties, making a single application highly effective, even in monsoonal weather conditions.
Pest Concerns: In coconut-growing regions of Sri Lanka, the presence of the Black Beetle pest (Oryctes Rhinocerous) poses a significant threat to palm trees. While mature palms may not face fatal consequences, young palms and seedlings can experience growth hindrance and occasional mortality. The Red Weevil (Rynchophotous Ferrugineus) can be even more destructive, potentially leading to fatal consequences for young palms.
Application: Apply CREO-BIT generously at the base of unopened leaves, the prime area of attack for both pests. This proactive approach prevents successful egg-laying and the subsequent spread of the pests on treated palms and seedlings. In the case of Red Weevil attack, generously coat the injured trunk to prevent further harm.
Advantages:
- Easy Application: CREO-BIT is ready for use directly from the container and adheres strongly to the palms.
- Weather Resistance: Its unique composition withstands adverse monsoonal weather conditions without getting washed away.
Economy: Field trials have shown that one litre of CREO-BIT can treat approximately 150 poly-bagged seedlings. Older palms will have different usage rates based on their girth.
Directions for Use:
- Choose a dry, windy day for optimal results.
- Apply CREO-BIT liberally around the base of the unopened leaves of the coconut palm to control Black Beetle.
- To counter Red Weevil attack, apply on all damaged areas of the palm and the cut ends of petioles to prevent egg-laying.
Safety Instructions:
- Caution: CREO-BIT is an irritant. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
- In case of contact, wash splashes off immediately and wash hands after use.
- Keep away from children and pets.
