“ The Exemptor has been marvellous, everything is clean and we have had no plant pest issues, it does what it says on the tin.” James Hobson, Hobson Bros Nurseries, Sheffield
The ultimate insect control available in one growing media solution Exemptor is the only contact and systemic insecticide for the control of black vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) and other major soil and foliar pests in container-grown ornamentals - both under protection and outside. Exemptor has a broad spectrum of activity against sucking and chewing insects including aphids, glasshouse whitefly, black vine weevil, leaf beetle and sciarid fly. Also Exemptor is not effected by temperature so it provides you with all year round control. Trials show that most plants grown in growing media treated with Exemptor are protected for the entire production cycle. This protection can extend into the distribution chain to the benefit of the retailers and end user.
Exemptor controls all of these pests once incorporated with one application into your growing media
An Advanced Solution for your growing media Exemptor is used as a growing media-incorporation treatment in the raising of all ornamental plants in containers.
• Protects crops which are prone to Vine Weevil attack. • Where spraying or drenching is difficult, unwelcome, undesirable or ineffective.
• For protecting crops from potting to sale.
• Where pesticide resistance to other products has been experienced.
• Where absence of foliar pests or damage is essential at the point of sale.
• For growers wishing to provide the highest quality plants and after-sale service giving protection from foliar pest build-up.

“Here at Howard Nurseries Ltd. we are very pleased with Exemptor and happy with the control it provides in that we have not had any issues with Vine Weevil, Aphids and Leaf Beetles; the product is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.
rates of Use
300g or 400g product per cubic metre of growing media dependant on crop. The active ingredient in Exemptor is thiacloprid. Thiacloprid:
• A member of the chloronicotinyl family. • A different mode of action to organophosphates,
pyrethroids or carbamates and therefore may break resistance from these “traditional” insecticides.
As a result our plants are now even more healthy and vigorous than ever before.”
• Possesses systemic properties; it may be ingested by
sucking and biting insects via the sap, but apart from this stomach effect it also exhibits a contact activity, when insects move around on treated plant surfaces.
Gavin Erith, Container Manager, Howard Nurseries Ltd
• An active ingredient with a broad-spectrum activity against
sucking and chewing insects (by contact or ingestion via the sap). The spectrum covers two groups of target pests: - The “traditional” insects such as aphids, whiteflies, weevils and now sciarid fly - Some beetles including coleopterans, dipterans and lepidopteron species.
