BenefitsofusingExemptor• Incorporated into growing media
to provide protection throughout the growing cycle.
• Binds on to growing media so easily taken up by the plant.

Whitefly Sciarid Fly Vine Weevil Aphid Leaf Beetles
Exemptor has a broad spectrum of activity against sucking and chewing insects including aphids, glasshouse whitefly, black vine weevil, leaf beetle and sciarid fly. Also Exemptor is not effected by temperature so it provides you with all year round control.
Trials show that most plants grown in growing media treated with Exemptor are protected for the entire production cycle. This protection can extend into the distribution chain to the benefit of the retailers and end user.
Exemptor controls all of these pests once incorporated with oneapplication into your growing media
Exemptor is the only contact and systemic insecticide for the control of black vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) and other major soil and foliar pests in container-grown ornamentals - both under protection and outside.
The ultimate insect control available in one growing media solution
An Advanced Solution for your growing media
Exemptor is used as a growing media-incorporation treatment in the raising of all ornamental plants in containers.
• Protects crops which are prone to Vine Weevil attack.
• Where spraying or drenching is difficult, unwelcome, undesirable or ineffective.
• For protecting crops from potting to sale.
• Where pesticide resistance to other products has been experienced.
• Where absence of foliar pests or damage is essential at the point of sale.
• For growers wishing to provide the highest quality plants and after-sale service giving protection from foliar pest build-up.
Particular market sectors that will benefit from Exemptor use are:
• Container-grown nursery stock (including hardy perennials).
• Pot plants e.g. cyclamen, fuchsia, geranium, pot chrysanthemums and poinsettia.
• Bedding plants (especially pot bedding).
• Hanging baskets.
• Also for containerised stock plants.

rates of Use
300g or 400g product per cubic metre of growing media dependant on crop.
The active ingredient in Exemptor is thiacloprid.
Thiacloprid:
• A member of the chloronicotinyl family.
• A different mode of action to organophosphates, pyrethroids or carbamates and therefore may break resistance from these “traditional” insecticides.
• Possesses systemic properties; it may be ingested by sucking and biting insects via the sap, but apart from this stomach effect it also exhibits a contact activity, when insects move around on treated plant surfaces.
• An active ingredient with a broad-spectrum activity against sucking and chewing insects (by contact or ingestion via the sap). The spectrum covers two groups of target pests:
- The “traditional” insects such as aphids, whiteflies, weevils and now sciarid fly
- Some beetles including coleopterans, dipterans and lepidopteron species.
