Orange oil for autumn/winter aphid control

[ajd132]

Have heard good things but can’t find much about it. Any experiences?

There’s only one source of it that I’m aware of.....and that alone makes me think twice.

Have used it extensively over the years on various fruit and veg crops. Still do.
It will control aphids to a certain extent but you'd need good cover and I'd question the results in winter.
Works very well as an adjuvant.

Thanks, where do you buy it from? What’s the price per ha roughly?

Hmm now you are asking.
I think it's Hutchinsons that sell Orosorb, pretty confident it is not Agrovista.
Sorry to sound so vague but away on hols and semi switched off.

I did a split field trial with Orange oil on half and lambda on the other half, will report back when crop wakes up and can see if any damage visible

Did you have a third treatment? No Orange oil or Lambda. Because if you do not see any virus it may just be because there was no need to treat with anything. Without that control treatment may I humbly say your trial is potentially flawed?
