Targeted insect control, soft on many beneficial insects.

Crown® 225SL

A systemic insecticide that works both on contact with target pests and systemically through root and leaf uptake.

Crown is designed for quicker and more effective control of sucking insects and fungus gnats. In trials with fungus gnats, Crown exceedingly outperformed other conventional formulations.

Crown is exclusively developed for use in ornamental horticulture and highly effective on sucking pests; acting on eggs, larvae and adults. It is best to apply Crown in the spring when plants start new growth and insects begin to emerge.

Crown is easy to mix and even easier to apply. For the best results, use Crown in Spring, when your plants begins new growth and insects start to stir.

• Additionally, very low concentrations are required for effective control.
• Being a new technology formulation, Crown will be useful in rotation with other older insecticides to prevent resistance build-up in the target pest.
