Spray for protecting leaves from insect decay

Post by Rahooja »

I have recently started to take interest in my garden after getting fed up of changing malis who would fleece me unnecessarily with high sounding jargons and materials/chemicals for keeping my garden healthy and free from "keras." I now have a basic help to do the labor part and watering the plants. Occassionally I call on an experienced cutter to manicure the hedges and shrubs. I want some information as to how to keep the khalifa leaves clean from keera. Can any one suggest a local brand of spray, as I dont want to end up buying an expensive brand off the shelf. Thankyou

WELCOME TO THE FORUM

There are so many sprays in the market that selecting the right one needs help from professionals, but still you can buy a all purpose spray which goes with ALL IN ONE brand name, and dont go along with its name, its just for saying that, "it is all in one", it is effective to many plant issues but not all.

But before all these sprays and buying pesticide, you should know, which and what "keras" are effecting you plants!!!

And after that you will be in a better mind to fight against them!!

Please share the picture of plants, there effect parts so that we can help you.

There isn't any all purpose spray. Each spray has been developed to target a particular pest.

A person suffering from a cardiac disease is unlikely to find any remedy from an ENT specialist and would be best advised to seek prescription from a cardiologist.

Mr. Rahooja welcome to the forum. The problem with application of sprays is that they also tend to kill the beneficial bugs which play an important role in our eco-system. One should avoid spraying unless confronted with a situation regarding an urgent remedy. Another problem with these pesticides is that the harmful residues remain on vegetables/fruits even if washed posing a risk to our health. You may find some of your answers in link mentioned or can always ask a question when confronted with a particular problem.

Thankyou for all above suggestions. I have sprayed something called "Super Dawn" on saturday. Went to a small outlet/khoka type shop in MAHS near Tipu Sultan Road. Lets see what the result is.
