Movento® Systemic Insecticide including Whiteflies, Aphids, Scale + Root Pests

How much Movento do I use per gallon of water?

Typical use rates are approximately 0.5–1 mL per gallon of water depending on the pest and application needs.

 

Does Movento require a surfactant?

A non-ionic surfactant is recommended for best performance and improved leaf coverage.

 

The optional Southern AG Surfactant add-on comes as a separate concentrated bottle and is mixed into your spray solution when preparing your Movento application.

 

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

 

• 2 oz bottle makes 6–12 gallons of final spray solution.

 

Movento can be applied without a surfactant, but adding one helps improve leaf coverage and overall application performance.

 

Does Movento work on root aphids?
Yes. Movento moves systemically through the plant including roots, helping control hidden root-feeding pests.

 

Does Movento kill whiteflies?
Yes. Movento is highly effective against whiteflies, especially immature stages and hidden infestations.

 

Can Movento be used on houseplants?
Movento is commonly used on ornamental plants and houseplants when used according to label directions.
