Description
Grazers Amenity is designed to keep ornamental plants and edible crops free of damage caused by rabbits, pigeons, deer, geese, mice and voles.
A calcium based, environmentally safe, liquid formulation, Grazers Amenity is applied to the green photosynthesising leaves and stems of plants.
Grazers Amenity is formulated with calcium chloride providing 6% calcium oxide (4.5% w/w calcium), alongside a plant derived adjuvant to enhance plant interaction.
Grazers Amenity engages with a plants metabolic processes once applied to the leaves, stems and flowers of plants, whereby they become unappealing to pests encouraging them to forage elsewhere. Calcium is also translocated into plant cells, transferring some protection onto the next leaves to form.
Grazers Amenity is safe for the wider environment and wildlife. As a plant essential secondary macronutrient, calcium will naturally dissipate in the plant. Pests are also unharmed leaving them free to fulfil their role as part of the wider natural food chain and ecosystem.
