Insect & Mite Control
SuffOil-X applications are more uniform than conventional oil emulsions. The uniformity improves effectiveness and greatly reduces the chance of plant phytotoxicity.
Superior Formulation
SuffOil-X does not risk crops by using heavy oils. The unique formulation provides excellent coverage with less risk.
Stable & Reliable
SuffOil-X will not separate for many hours in a spray tank. The stable emulsion is long lasting ensuring the spray application is consistent.
SuffOil-X suffocates and kills soft-bodied insect pests in all life stages (eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults). It is also highly effective at preventing and controlling fungal diseases like rusts, mildews and Botrytis. As a fungicide, SuffOil-X works as a suffocant and prevents pathogenic spores from attaching to the plant host. This prevents infection and stunts the growth of established foliar diseases like mildews and rusts.
SuffOil-X leaves no toxic residue on plants, making it a good choice to use with beneficial insects. Since it has minimal residual activity beneficials can rapidly repopulate the sprayed area, while some beneficials are mobile enough to avoid the spray area entirely.
The pre-emulsified process breaks the oil into particles that are 1/14th their original size. These mini oil droplets dry quickly and assure a uniform coating when applied to foliage. Complete coverage is important since SuffOil-X works on contact. There have been no phytotoxicity issues when using SuffOil-X as directed. Always refer to the product label (under MSDS) for specific application rates by pest or crop.

- Spray early in the day before temperatures reach 90-95 °F (33-35 °C)
- Ensure soil moisture is adequate and plants are not drought stressed
- Do not mix with sulfur-based fungicides or insecticides
- Apply horticultural oils only when the temperature is above 40 °F and there is no danger of freezing
