Karbyon 500 grams used for removing black sooty mold from trees and plants. Karbyon is a new product that solves a problem which a solution has been sort after for years; to remove black sooty mold off plants.

Used at 50 grams per 5 litres of water. (Scoop provided in container is 50grams when filled level)

To mix place 2.5 litres of water in spray tank, while mixing slowly add the 50 grams of

KarbyonTM then the other 2.5 litres of water. (Warm water will be better to use)

When spraying ensure a good spray coverage to run off for optimum disease control.

48 hours later spray the target plant with a jet of water from the hose.

If not all the sooty mold is removed then a second application of KarbyonTM maybe needed.

There is a withholding period which is; Do not apply within 7 days of harvest of food crops.

Karbyon is used for not only removing black sooty mold off plants but also for the prevention of powdery mildew on plants. That means it will also help prevent black spot on plants.

For either of these uses I would recommend adding Raingard to the spray so it does not was off in rain for up to 14 days. If using for black sooty mold then do not add Raingard to the spray as you do want to wash it off after 48 hours.

The cause of the black sooty mold is insect pests such as whitefly, scale, mealy bugs, aphids and thrips all of which feed on your plants and then pee out honey dew. The honey dew turns to black sooty mold and also attracts ants.

You can do one of two things, firstly kill the insects that are causing the problem by spraying Wallys Neem Tree Oil and Wallys Super Pyrethrum mixed together or you can treat the sooty mold first and the the insects afterwards.

Black sooty mold not only makes the plants unsightly it also reduces the energy they obtain from sunlight.
