Termivet

Organic termite control for your crops

Termites do their damage out of sight. By the time plants start wilting and falling over, the colony has been feeding for weeks. Termivet is made from two plant extracts. It stops termites and other insects feeding, disrupts their growth and moulting, repels larvae and adults, and sterilises adult insects so they lay fewer eggs.

What it controls: termites, plus bollworms, weevils, leafworms, cutworms, armyworms and budworms on cotton, vegetables, legumes, cereals and tobacco.

Packs: 1 litre and 250 ml · NAFDAC Reg. No.: A5-2336

Signs of termites on your farm

• Plants wilting, then falling over, often with soil packed inside the stem

• Roots, tubers or stems eaten hollow from below

• Mud tunnels up stems, seedlings or tree trunks

• Termite mounds in or beside the field

• How to mix: Shake the bottle well. Add 120 ml of Termivet to a 16-litre knapsack of clean water and mix well. One litre treats about one hectare. The 250 ml bottle makes two knapsack loads, enough for a small plot. Use a calibrated knapsack or boom sprayer for even coverage.

• When to apply: 2–3 weeks after the crop comes up, or as soon as you see termite or insect damage. Repeat at the interval in the table below.

• Safety: Termivet is plant-based, but it is still a poison. It can seriously harm you if swallowed or splashed in your eyes, and it irritates skin and lungs. Wear gloves and a face mask. Don't use less water than the label says or you can burn the crop. Keep it out of streams, rivers and ponds.
