Glee presence will help us build on strong demand says ecofective

Environmentally-friendly plant care brand ecofective has confirmed it will showcase the latest generation of its natural feed, weed and pest control products at Glee in Septermber.

 

Ecofective® says strong demand in 2019 have been driven by consumers seeking effective ‘green’ alternatives to conventional fertilisers and pesticides. The retail ban on metaldehyde-based slug pellets has strengthened the market for natural slug controls, with the company poised to showcase its new ecofective® Slug Killer – supplied in a recycled container and containing FERRIMAX® bait.

 

Head of sales Nigel Thompson says the fashion for grow-your own continues to gather pace, while rising numbers of organic and vegan gardeners are demanding effective plant care products that are kind to the environment and to wildlife. “Ecofective® will build on this growth at Glee 2019,” he said.

 

Created by leading plant technology firm Sipcam, the ecofective® Child & Pet Safe range uses pioneering formulations, developed for professional growers and adapted for retail, that are safe to use around beneficial insects, including bees.

 

Glee will provide a platform to showcase the company’s RHS-endorsed Garden Care range, includings RHS Weedkiller, RHS Moss Killer, RHS Bug and Mildew Control, RHS Path, Patio and Decking Cleaner and RHS Slug Killer.

 

ecofective team will be on stand 8E70 at Glee.
