DDM Diatomaceous Earth Insect Control & Seed Treatment (Natural Silica Plant strengthener)

The most widely accepted explanation for the action of diatomite is that it absorbs or removes the epicuticle lipid layers (which consist of hydrocarbons, wax esters, and other organic chemical compounds) of the insect. This causes excessive water loss through the cuticle of the insect and ultimately death by desiccation (dehydration) within 6 to 72 hours.

When applied to soil as a micro-nutrient, Silica strengthens plant cell tissues to resist pest and disease attack.
