Application Guidelines and Techniques

For maximum effectiveness, thoroughly shake the container before each use and spray from approximately 25cm distance to ensure even coverage. Complete plant coverage is essential as Prost Fast M works only where applied - pests must come into direct contact with the treated surfaces. Apply until plants are thoroughly wet but stop before spray solution begins dripping from leaf surfaces.

Timing is critical for optimal pest control. For Colorado potato beetle, target the youngest larval stages when they're most vulnerable. For strawberry blossom weevil, apply before flowering begins. For general pest control, apply at first signs of infestation for best results.

Temperature and Environmental Considerations

Application effectiveness decreases significantly at temperatures above 24°C (75°F). For optimal results, apply during cooler morning or evening hours. This timing also protects beneficial insects like bees, which should be in their hives during application periods. Never spray during flowering periods of bee-attractive crops.

Target Crops and Pest Spectrum

Prost Fast M is registered for use on numerous crop types including stone fruits (excluding apricots and peaches), pome fruits, brassica vegetables, strawberries, ornamental plants, potatoes, and tomatoes. The broad spectrum activity covers sucking pests like aphids and chewing insects including various caterpillars, flea beetles, sawflies, and weevils.

Professional growers appreciate the flexibility of treating multiple crop types with a single product, making inventory management simpler while maintaining effective pest control across diverse growing operations.

Seasonal Application Schedule

Application timing varies by crop and target pest. Stone and pome fruits require treatment from April through July for sucking and chewing pests. Tomatoes can be treated March through August for aphids and May through August for Colorado potato beetle. Brassica vegetables need protection April through June for various pests, while ornamental plants can be treated year-round as needed.
