TriTek provides effective, organic pest and disease control on a broad range of crops

Tritek is a concentrate of pre-emulsified highly refined, low aromatic, highly paraffinic oil. The emulsification process produces a creamy emulsion that keeps the droplets small and apart so they don't coalesce into larger ones. These smaller-sized droplets create a lighter oil that adds several valuable characteristics to this organic spray:

• It dilutes with water (including hard water) more quickly and thoroughly than conventional sprays.
• After dilution, it lasts for many hours in a spray tank without separating.
• It provides exceptional coverage and durability without the risk of phytotoxicity of heavier oils.
• The primary mode of action in Tritek is suffocation and it works on eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults of many species (see below) and on most crops. The smothering oils in Tritek also work as fungicides by limiting growth of existing pathogens and preventing new spores from attaching to the plant host. This dual action is extremely useful in controlling foliar diseases like mildews and rusts.

Tritek is compatible with most fungicides and insecticides, with some exceptions. It is OMRI listed under Crop Pest, Weed and Disease Control, so it can be used in organic growing as well as conventional production.
