TRICO® is available in either 5 litre or 10 litre packaging, depending on your country.
Once or twice per season depending on the extent of damage and individual country registrations. It is effective for up to 6 months.
Unfortunately, if the product has become frozen, once thawed the unique emulsion would have been destroyed. The product should be discarded according to the label and a new product purchased.
For optimal results, TRICO® requires 6 to 10 hours of dry weather after application to dry completely. If it rains before the product has dried, it may be washed off, reducing or eliminating its protective effect. If you are unsure whether TRICO® has remained on the trees, we recommend reapplying the product as soon as the weather clears to ensure your trees are fully protected for up to 6 months.
Yes, if the weather is dry, TRICO® can be used in cold temperatures. To ensure the liquid can be sprayed, it’s recommended to “warm” the jerrycan the evening before application.
With a sprayer, you can treat around 600 plants per hour, depending on the accessibility of the area and the spacing between plants.
A 1 mm cone jet nozzle is typically recommended for most applications, while a flat fan nozzle is ideal for applications targeting debarking.
TRICO® should be sprayed on one side of the tree, from hip height to the root collar. Depending on the tree’s thickness, you may need up to 20 ml per trunk.
For browsing control, an application of 4–5 ml per seedling is sufficient. Dosing triggers are available to ensure accurate measurement. You will need about 4 litres for 1,000 plants. Especially in autumn, it’s important to target the shoots and not just the leaves.
The white color comes from a mineral pigment and only helps identify the treated plant. The pigment has no protection purpose and does not indicate the level of protection. When TRICO® has been used correctly, even if the color fades over time, there is still enough sheep fat on the plant to maintain effective protection.
TRICO® is a natural product, so its viscosity may vary slightly. Temperature has a particular influence: the liquid becomes thicker in cold conditions and thinner in warmer temperatures. When used correctly, the effectiveness remains unchanged.
