All purpose plant friendly pesticide

Post by Farhan Ahmed »

kindly recommend all purpose, all plants and plant friendly pesticide which can cater for thripes, aphids, small fly like insect and others, it must be user friendly as amateur gardeners like me generally don't know the right qty to spray. Mr.Umer recommended regent and movento of bayer. I am confused.....have been using soap/oil/baking soda recipe but its works on hit and kill basis.....is there any preventive type?.......request urgent help

Following is a list of active ingredients in such pesticides easily available here, there may be a combination of two or three:

ethion
malathion
methidathion
parathion
formetanate
methiocarb

Always buy the smaller unit pack, prefer the dark/amber colored containerized products, store them at cool, dry and dark place, always make sure the container is tightly closed.

3-5 ml per liter is enough for most of the pests, just a regular spray is required..
