Production of healthy and high quality food is a major concern these days. Hence the farmers worldwide are encouraged to practice organic farming to grow the natural food products essential for the human body. The only issue lies with the crop protection methods that often hamper the quality of food. To protect the crops against fungal diseases like powdery mildew, bunch rot, rust and other plant feeding mites and aphid-borne plant viruses Stylet oil has been developed, a perfect solution to all such problems.
The Stylet oil for crop protection is a high quality mineral oil perfectly designed to arrest insecticide, fungicide and virus attacking the crops. Based on environmentally safe formulation this mineral oil acts actively against Aphid-borne plant viruses that are quite hard to be removed. To protect the plant from the plant feeding mites and insects the Stylet oil crop protection is used all across the globe these days. Since grapes, vegetables, tree fruits, citrus and other ornamental plants get easily affected by the plant feeding mites and insects hence the use of Stylet oil is the only solution to end the problem from its root.
In case of fungal disease this mineral oil either prevents their development or kills them on contact as per its rate of application. In the mite control process the Stylet oil kills the mite by suffocating and changing their feeding and egg laying habit. For the Aphid-borne plant viruses the white mineral oil interferes with their transmission process and prevents the virus from spreading. And for this reason this oil is referred to as virus management for effective results. This oil does not work at the biochemical level, it rather works at the physical level providing appropriate result to the crops. To get the best result with this oil in home growing plants, the gardeners are advised to spray this oil using the standard hand pump sprayer available at the local garden center. Moreover the spray should be applied at the point of run off and the plant should not be over soaked with the spray.
This technical grade mineral oil is environment friendly since it does not contain any aromatic hydrocarbons that easily evaporate into the atmosphere and cause air pollution. By using this oil there are maximum chances of reduction of plant injury or phytotoxicity. Stylet oil is a clear, colorless and tasteless liquid and is to be preserved within the storage drums to prevent water contamination. To increase the shelf life of the oil, it should be stored above freezing temperature and for long term storage the oil should be stirred using a metal stirring rod or an electric drill. By following the application procedure strictly as suggested by its manufacturers, the home growing plants get ultimate protection with the help of this technical grade white oil. Now these oils are easily available with the online service providers.
