Crown^®

Everris introduces breakthrough technology in systemic insecticides for the professional grower. Crown is a systemic insecticide that works both on contact with target pests and systemically through root and leaf uptake. Crown features new chemistry designed for faster, more effective control of sucking pests and fungus gnat. In fungus gnat trials, Crown stood head and shoulders above the rest, outperforming other formulations.

Key features and benefits

• Crown is totally systemic through root and leaf uptake, also acting on contact with target pests
• 100% knockdown of many target pests within 50 minutes, outperforming competitor products¹. Crown is fast and long lasting
• Crown provides effective control at low rates of application
• Crown is relatively soft on many benificial insects² e.g. 300 x less toxic via contact and 2000 x less toxic via oral than its closer competitor on honey bees³.
