Diatomaceous earth

diatomaceous

Description
Kieselgur (also known as diatomaceous earth or fossil flour) is a siliceous sedimentary rock of organic origin, obtained from the fossilized remains of microalgae of the Diatomaceae family. The raw material is extracted exclusively from freshwater lakes. The powder obtained by grinding diatoms has a light color and a consistency similar to talc. Its mineral composition is predominantly silicon, followed by other minerals such as aluminum, magnesium, iron, calcium and traces of potassium, manganese and titanium.

How to use
Use on potted plants, in the garden or in the field on crops: Dilute to 2.5-3% with water and spray on plants using manual or mechanical means.

warnings
Avoid contact with eyes; product may cause mild eye irritation. May cause respiratory irritation; avoid inhalation of dust or mixture during application. Wash with soap and water after handling. Personnel administering or handling the powder should wear a respirator to protect against changes in dust and mixture during application (conforming to EN 149 FFP2). For harvesters, the use of dust masks and safety glasses (conforming to BS EN 166) is recommended. Ensure adequate ventilation and/or exhaust ventilation in work environments. Do not eat, drink or smoke during use. If the product is wet, it may be slippery. Keep out of reach of children.
