New season 2025 stock arrived.
It's not too late to start applying Madex3 for this season. As the famous Anaesthetist John Snow once said "well, better late than never"
At last, a very effective organic non toxic biological spray to control Codling moth larvae infestation on pip fruit - Apples (especially), Pears, Nashi, etc. Biogro certified input for organics #4300.
Start spraying soon as the flower petals start falling to protect this seasons crop AND reduce the Codling moth population in your garden for next season.
Madex 3 is an organic product based on a live organism - the Codling Moth Granulosis virus otherwise known as CpGV – a naturally occurring pathogen of the codling moth.
It controls Codling moth caterpillars in their earliest juvenile stages before they begin to burrow into the fruit, it has a highly specific effect on fruit maggots and thus does not impact bees. First application of this organic product is from early to mid-October, with follow up sprays at 7-14 day intervals up until mid December.

Madex 3 has a culmative effect in the reduction of the codlin moth population in your property with consecutive seasons.
Dilution rate is 0.33mils per 5 litres of water (less than half a mil) so great news for longevity and value from bottle. I'll provide a free 10mil syringe (with 1mil markings) to make measuring accurate/easy for the small amount you need to extract from the bottle and dispense into your sprayer. I usually just measure 1/2 a ml (0.50ml) to 5 litres of water. Madex3 has good rain resistance after it has dried on the plant surface. It typically becomes rainfast within a few hours of application.
You are purchasing 1 x 100ml bottle of Madex 3 which you store in the Freezer. It will still stay liquid and be totally effective for up to 4 years + from manufacturers date when stored in this manner.
My stock of Madex 3 is stored in the Freezer, not at ambient shelf display - I am not a shop retail store needing to display this product on a shelf.
Madex 3 is used commercially in orchards and now replaces Madex 2 which has been discontinued as a product line for general garden retail. Madex 3 is initially more expensive to purchase but the dilution rate is better, bottle size larger and has a much better longer storage life when kept in freezer.
