Pyrethrum Concentrate is a pyrethrum spray concentrate for growers who want to mix a fresh garden spray as needed. It is designed for use as a contact insecticide where the product label confirms suitability, giving gardeners a practical pest control concentrate for targeted applications around plants.
This product is best suited to Australian growers who prefer a concentrate over a ready-to-use spray and want the flexibility to mix only what they need. Use it as part of a careful pest management routine that includes plant inspection, correct dilution, good coverage and follow-up monitoring.
