Product Description

Initiator Tablets are an Envu systemic plant insecticide and fertiliser tablet containing 200 g/kg imidacloprid. This pack holds 750 g of tablets.

The label lists Initiator for roses (aphids), azaleas (azalea lace bug), lillypillies (psyllids), potted palms (mealybugs), magnolias (scale) and eucalypts (various insect pests). It can be used in nurseries, home gardens and landscaped areas.

Read the label before use. Use 1 tablet per metre of plant height. For established plants, bury the tablet about 5 cm deep, at least 10 cm from the stem, and cover it completely with soil. The tablets release slowly and need soil moisture: water after treatment and keep the plant regularly watered for at least 2 to 3 months. See the Application Rates tab for placement.

Do not leave tablets above ground: they are dangerous to wildlife, particularly birds. Do not let stock graze treated trees, and do not contaminate waterways. The label does not list vegetables or fruit trees.

Important Notes:

Tips for use

Moisture is Key: These tablets release their active ingredient slowly and need moist soil to work. Water the plant immediately after applying the tablets and keep it regularly watered for 2–3 months.

 

Placement:
Place the tablet(s) in the planting hole directly under the root ball.
For larger plants (over 1 meter tall), use multiple tablets, spacing them evenly around the plant.

 

Depth: Dig a hole about 5 cm deep near the roots where the plant absorbs water best.
Cover: Ensure the tablet is fully covered with soil after placement.

 

First Aid:
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or call the Poisons Information Centre at 131 126 (Australia).
