An effective way to protect brassica seedlings against four of the major pests (Springtail, Aphid, ASW and Nysius), Gaucho is an insecticide seed treatment that provides excellent early plant protection.
Recommended for spring and autumn-sown crops, Gaucho promotes healthy growth, higher yields and a better return on your investment. It is also more sustainable than granular and foliar insecticides because it offers targeted protection – we only apply Gaucho to the seeds of the crops you want to protect.
When the treated seeds are planted and begin to grow, the active ingredient in Gaucho is released and moves throughout the plant. This increase in protection minimises unwanted insect attacks, and maximises crop yield and profitability.
A cost-effective solution that saves you time and resources overall, with Gaucho you don’t need to check your crops as often, nor do you need to apply as many foliar insecticides to control the same target pests.
