Disease Control
Sil-Matrix
Sil-Matrix is a unique two-in-one organic fungicide & insecticide.
Sil-Matrix is a unique combination of both a preventive fungicide and a contact miticide/insecticide. Sil-Matrix controls mites and insects that it contacts, controlling their populations. It forms a physical barrier within the leaf cuticle that prevents penetration of fungal diseases.
Sil-Matrix Benefits
- Sil-Matrix is a unique combination that works against both preventatively against diseases and curatively against insects and mites.
- Controls mites and insects it contacts, thus controlling their populations as a curative insecticide and miticide.
- Forms a physical barrier within the leaf cuticle that prevents penetration of fungal diseases.
- No to low burn potential.
- OMRI-Listed for organic production and application. Approved for use on organic crops and for organic production.
- Compatible with existing spray programs.
- Relatively odorless.
- Compatible with IPM programs (soft on beneficials).
Diseases Controlled by Sil-Matrix Include
- Powdery mildew.
- Gray mold rot (Botrytis cinerea) on blueberry.
- Rusts.
- Gray leaf spot, Brown patch, Dollar spot, and Snow mold on turf.
Pests Controlled by Sil-Matrix Include
- Mites.
- Aphids.
- Whiteflies.
*For use against many types of diseases and pests on many crops, turf grasses, vegetables, fruits, nuts, vine crops, ornamentals, hemp etc.
How Does Sil-Matrix Work
Sil-Matrix Prevents penetration of fungi and acts as a desiccant to makes plants less palatable for insects.

Sil-Matrix Application Instructions
- For fruit, nut, vine and vegetable crops, apply 0.5 to 1% solution (2-4 Quarts Sil-MATRIX/100 gal.) in 50 to 250 Gallons (vegetables, 20 Gallons) of finished spray per acre.
- Apply up to the day of harvest (0 day PHI).
- Do not apply more than 10 Quarts (vegetables, 4 quarts) per acre per application.
- Do not apply more than 20 Gallons (vegetables, 7 gallons) per season.
- Do not make post-harvest applications.
Sil Matrix Application Notes:
- For best results, apply Sil-MATRIX on a preventive schedule for disease control.
- Begin applications when environmental conditions are conducive to disease development.
- Repeat applications no sooner than every seven days.
- When conditions are ideal for rapid development of disease, it is recommended that Sil-MATRIX be used in a rotational program with other registered fungicides.
- For best results, apply Sil-MATRIX before leaf hardening.
- For maximum results, use a high analysis non-ionic surfactant at recommended label rates.
- Do not apply more than 10 quarts (vegetables, 4 quarts) per acre per application.
- Do not apply more than 20 gallons (vegetables, 7 gallons) per season.
- Do not make post-harvest applications.
