Grower's Ally Crop Defender 3 Concentrate, 8 Oz, Makes 25 Gal

I've been having issues with spider mites on an indoor garden. I've tried multiple organic & DIY solutions which helped but never really eradicated them even accounting for egg hatch cycle & dormant time. I'd have to do multiple applications every 1-2 weeks to keep them at bay. So it was worth trying Crop Defender. I used one application of Crop Defender at the 'elimination' concentration level (vs preventative). It's now been over two weeks and no signs of any spider mites or other pests. That's a big win for protecting the plants from pests but also fungus/mildew. While the bottle is small (8 oz), it's concentrated & diluted in water so will last lots applications making the price worth the cost. It sprayed easily from a 1/2 gal hand held sprayer. Any remaining solution can be saved for the next application according to the instructions on the bottle (though probably won't be as effective over a long storage period of time). All the ingredients are organic making it safe to use for people & pets. Very happy to have finally got the upper hand on the spider mites.

The stuff really works good on bugs

I have bought 2-3 of the spray bottles and finally got the concentrate because I will continue using it for EVERYTHING from aphids to powdery mildew. It works quickly (you may not even need to reapply in the 3 days they say to wait; I did not need to reapply like I have with every other product!). Seriously, throw out all your other fungicides/insecticides because this product is the only thing you’ll need. I was so surprised when it effectively got rid of a yearly spring aphid problem on a Clematis and did not torch my plant as many other products have. I just spoke with a very helpful Grower’s Ally rep. who explained how the product works, gave me mixing ratios for infestation and for prevention and was super helpful (thank you, Scott!). I am hoping I won’t see my end of summer/start of fall powdery mildew but now I am armed with the best product I’ve used in 20+ years of gardening. I personally like the smell but he said it goes away in 3 days. Another bonus: unlike Neem, Crop Defender3 is not systemic (it doesn’t enter the vascular system of your plant—how great!). This is the kind of stuff that I’d buy no matter how much it costs. Buy the concentrate because you will use this product forever!!

works well as intended using a fog sprayer

My plants got infested with parasites that were killing them. I thought I was keeping a good eye on them but alas I was fooled - my plants were suddenly infested seemingly overnight! I mean hundreds or thousands of the little pests hatched out on my plants in a matter of a couple of days. WTF? Everything was going so well I thought. Well I did some searching and decided to buy this Crop Defender 3 because it is all natural ingredients that are edible and seemed to be the best choice for consumable plants. I don't know if there are better products because this one worked for me. I just sprayed the heck out of my plants getting the underside of the leaves good. I sprayed twice and it did the trick. The plants smelled like cloves and other spices for a few days but the parasites either left or died not sure which, probably both. I'm really thankful this stuff worked for me. My plants went from being on death's doorstep to producing a lot of veggies and all the time and money I spent was not wasted. Well that was last season and now I am back to growing more plants this season thanks to my success last year. Had it not been for this crop defender I would not be back for more. I would have given up the green thumb. I have the remainder of the crop defender left so my plants won't have to wait for days of being eaten alive for the product to arrive if I need it again this year and I probably will.

Best spray for aphids and mites. I’m so pleased with this spray. I already ordered a larger bottle. Smells sooooo good too. Kills insects and does not burn the leaves - even on seedlings. Highly recommended.

Top shelf is my opinion. One application and WOW. I knew I was going to have a problem and tried lots of products and most didn't kill everything. This dx-ed adults, young and I've not seen any movement since. And best it all ingredients we use every day.

I hate to say this, as I was looking for an alternative to chemicals for my plants. This product did nothing to stop the tiny white insects and Aphids from killing my tomato plants. despite repeated efforts and good quality fertilizers and soil. I would not buy this product again.
