Ferti-lome Triple Action

Ferti-Lome Triple Action, manufactured by VPG, Inc., acts as an insecticide, fungicide, and miticide for your agricultural crops (vegetables), fruits, nuts, herbs, spices, roses, flowers, and shrubs around your lawn and turf. This easy-to-use liquid product works as an "exciter" that will flush insects hiding within your vegetation out and into contact with insecticide residuals.

As a fungicide, Ferti-lome Triple Action will help prevent diseases or fungicides such as powdery mildew, black spot, or brown spot from occurring within your turf or ornamental plants. 

The two active ingredients, pyrethrins 0.25% and clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil 70%, work to irritate the insects in the area where the spray is applied. Ferti-Lome Triple Action is an effective product that treats insects, fungicides, and mites as well. It works well by stopping and affecting any stage of insect, disease, or fungus development.

Tools Needed

You will need a backpack sprayer, hose-end sprayer, or handheld pump sprayer. For small residential gardens or ornamental plants, we recommend a handheld 1-gallon pump sprayer for easier application.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine the how much Ferti-Lome Triple Action to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage, by measuring the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiplying them together (length X width = square footage). Ferti-Lome Triple Action will be mixed at the rate of 1 fl. oz of the product per 1,000 sq. ft with 1 gallon of water. For example, if you measured out an area of 1,500 sq. ft., then you would need 1.5 fl. oz. of product with 1.5 gallons of water.
• Step 2: To mix, fill your sprayer halfway with the required amount of water, then add the calculated amount of Ferti-Lome Triple Action, and finally add the remaining half of water. Agitate the spray mixture well, and you will be ready to apply it to your turf.
• Step 3: Spray the spray mixture thoroughly until the top and bottom of the leaf surfaces are wet. Do not apply too much of the spray mixture to the point of runoff. Repeatedly shaking the sprayer as you spray will guarantee the successful termination of insects, diseases, and fungicides. You will only apply this once a day for seven days. Early morning application will work best, as this is when insects are less active.
• Step 4: Reapply the spray mixture once a day within 14 days to terminate all target insects and diseases.

Where to Use

Ferti-Lome Triple Action can be used on residential lawns, grassy areas, and commercial turf. This spray mixture can be applied to fruits, nuts, vegetables, herbs, spices, roses, houseplants, flowers, shrubs, and other ornamental plants in landscape areas.

When to Use

Use upon first seeing a fungus, disease, or insect activity on your foliage or as a preventative measure during early spring to mid-fall. Ferti-Lome Triple Action can be used until the day of crop harvest. Because this product contains oils, applying it in the morning or late afternoon is best to minimize foliage burn. You will want to use tough-to-control fungus and insects on a 7-day schedule until pest pressure is no longer present.

Safety Information

Ferti-Lome Triple Action is safe to use near children or pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing or applying the product.

Do not allow adults, children, or pets to enter the treated area until the sprays have dried.

Special Considerations

Do not apply this spray mixture on wilted or stressed plants as this can kill them. Do not use spray adjuvants (surfactants) with this product. 

Use with care on plants with tender tissue. Do not apply to known spray-sensitive plant species such as Impatiens flowers, Fuchsia flowers, Hibiscus flowers, some Rose flowers, ornamental Olive Trees, Red Maples, some Carnation varieties, or similar plants without prior testing.
