SucraShield™ is a sugar-based insecticide/miticide that gives fast-acting control for hundreds of soft-bodied insects like aphids, caterpillars, glassy-winged sharp-shooters, mealy bugs, mites, soft scale, thrips and whitefly. The active ingredient, a sugar ester, attacks the target pests and causes rapid dehydration. SucraShield™ biodegrades into sugar and water in the environment. There is no documented resistance.

SucraShield™ has no application interval for harvesting; you can apply it and eat your fruits or vegetables the same day.  It can be used on both ornamental and edible crops; you will notice only a faint, sweet scent upon application. SucraShield™ can be used in greenhouses, nurseries, on trees, and in the garden. SucraShield™ is allowed for use in organic agriculture under the USDA National Organic Program and is registered with the WSDA for Organic Farming and Gardening.

SucraShield™’s novel formula has been proven not to harm beneficial insects such as honey bees, beetles, ladybugs, lacewing, and wasps at labeled use rates. SucraShield™ has not been tested on every beneficial insect. SucraShield™'s activity selectively controls soft bodied insects and not hard bodied insects. Therefore, care should be taken if the beneficial insects are not listed above or are in a state of 'soft bodies'.

SucraShield ™ does cause some mortality to predatory mites. However, pest mites are impacted more significantly than predacious ones. If predatory mites are present at the time of application, the lower impact on the predatory mite population will allow survivors to quickly manage any re-infestation of pest mites.

Because SucraShield™ is a sugar ester, it is perfect for use if you have desert alkaline soils/water. As the formula is slightly acidic, generally those with alkaline soils/water do not have to add anything to optimize the pH. If after mixing your final pH measures below 7, you will have to add something to make the mixture more alkaline (basic).

SucraShield™ has a shelf life of 2 years if stored according to directions. For best results keep below 140 degrees F and above 32 degrees F. One pint makes 12 ½ - 16 gallons of spray; one gallon makes 81-100 gallons of spray. Typically, one gallon of spray will cover approximately 150 plants 1 foot high, depending on the amount of foliage present, or 1500 sq. ft.

SucraShield™  is primarily a contact insecticide with limited residual activity.

• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
• Can be tank mixed with other insecticides and fungicides to boost efficiency.
• Apply as soon as infestation begins.
• Use in sufficient water to achieve adequate coverage.
• Shake or stir before use. SucraShield™ suspends in water. To achieve and to maintain the suspension, add the appropriate quantity to water with agitation and maintain gentle agitation during application.
• Repeat applications, as necessary, at intervals of 7 - 10 days, to maintain control.
• Thorough coverage of plant foliage, including the undersides of leaves, is essential for good control of the target pests.
