If pests impact your onion, lettuce or broccoli fields, consider adding NipsIt as a treatment to your pelleted seeds before planting.
NipsIt Vegetables provides growers with seed-applied protection against a number of common pests.
LETTUCE
Leaf miner (suppression)
Red lettuce aphid
Green peach aphid
Foxglove aphid
BROCCOLI
Bagrada bug
HALO EFFECT
NipsIt trials have demonstrated a halo effect in the seedling stage. This effect does not last beyond the growth of the plants’ first true leaves.
1. Simplicity – your lettuce seed comes complete with an effective insecticide that protects your seedlings from important sucking and chewing insects such as leaf miner (from planting to thinning) and aphids (from planting to mid-season).
2. More vigorous growth – protection of tender seedlings against leaf miner (suppression) damage means a more robust and healthier plant throughout the season.
3. Season-long productivity – seedlings are protected from insects, enhancing uniformity and providing production efficiencies through harvest.
ONION
Onion maggot
Seedcorn maggot
Thrips
