Southern AG Surfactant is a non-ionic wetting agent included with this kit to improve spray coverage and consistency.

 

The surfactant comes as a separate concentrated bottle and is mixed into your spray solution when preparing each application.

 

On many plants — especially African violets and plants with waxy leaves — spray droplets can bead up and roll off the leaf surface. When this happens, treatment may not spread evenly into areas where pests hide.

 

Adding a surfactant helps solve this.

 

It lowers surface tension so your spray spreads into a thinner, more even layer — improving coverage around leaves, crowns, and hard-to-reach areas.

 

Included 2 oz Surfactant Coverage:
At the recommended rate (5–10 mL per gallon):

 

• Makes 6–12 gallons of final spray solution

 

The result: better coverage, less waste, and more consistent applications.

Professional-grade mite control used by serious African violet growers.

 

How to Use for Best Results

 

Mix:

Miticide (Choose One):
1/4–1/2 teaspoon (1.2–2.4 mL) per 1 gallon of water
• Minx 2 or Oberon 4SC

 

Surfactant (Add Last):
1–2 teaspoons (5–10 mL) per 1 gallon of water

 

⚠️ Important: Do not over-agitate after adding surfactant
• Excess shaking can cause foaming and uneven application

 

Mixing Instructions:

• Fill spray tank halfway with water
• Add Minx 2 or Oberon and mix thoroughly
• Do not mix both products together
• Top off with remaining water
• Add surfactant last and gently mix
• Use within 12 hours for best effectiveness

 

Application Schedule:

👉 Apply every 5–7 days to break the pest life cycle and prevent reinfestation

 

Rotation Example:

• Application 1: Minx 2
• Application 2: Oberon
• Repeat as needed

 

Why This Works

• Minx 2 quickly controls active, feeding pests
• Oberon targets eggs and immature stages
• Rotating between them ensures complete life cycle control

 

Use & Recommendations:

• Thoroughly spray both the top and underside of leaves
• Full coverage is critical—this is where pests live
• Do not use as a soil drench (foliar use only)
• Begin treatment at the first sign of pests
• Repeat applications are required for complete control

 

💡 Common mistake: Spray beading and rolling off leaves
👉 A surfactant ensures even coverage so the treatment actually works

 

Safety:

Wear appropriate PPE: gloves, eye protection, and a respirator when mixing or spraying
