Provado Green 2.5 PR

Professional Pest Control for Ornamental Plants

Maintaining the pristine condition of ornamental gardens and greenhouse crops requires precise tools that target hidden threats without harming the plant's aesthetic value. Bayer’s «Provado Green 2.5 PR» is a proven systemic solution designed for professional growers to combat persistent sucking pests that often threaten commercial floral production.

Systemic Action vs. Surface Pests

The core of this product is imidacloprid, a systemic active ingredient. Unlike contact-only insecticides, Provado Green is absorbed by the plant tissue and translocated through the vascular system. This ensures that even pests hiding under leaves or protected by waxy shells receive a lethal dose as they feed on the plant sap.

• Whiteflies and Aphids: These pests colonize rapidly. Systemic control prevents the frequent re-infestations common with standard surface sprays.
• Thrips: Difficult to control due to their mobility; systemic protection acts as an internal barrier.
• Scale Insects (Coccidae/Diaspididae): One of the few effective ways to manage these pests effectively through internal distribution of the active ingredient.

Operational Scenarios and Application

In a professional agricultural setting, «Provado Green 2.5 PR» is used primarily for ornamental crops. The emulsion formulation is designed for easy mixing and application, ensuring minimal residue on foliage, which is vital for high-value ornamental sales.

Applied via foliar spraying during the vegetation period, this product offers a significant advantage in terms of labor management: the systemic effect provides a longer protective window, reducing the frequency of follow-up treatments. While classified as a Hazard Class 3 agent, standard safety protocols are sufficient for professional greenhouse operations, making it a reliable workhorse for integrated crop management.
