Mix the micro-granules with water. Ideally 1 gram for 1 litre of water for 10 m² of boxwood surface. Thoroughly spray the upper and under sides of the leaves to make spraying effective.

TOPBUXUS XenTari is an easy to use product against Box Blight It's 100% safe for humans, animals & insects such as bees & other pollinators. It can also be used preventively. When a caterpillar eats the treated leaves, it ingests the “Cry” proteins from XenTari. The protein crystals are solubilized in the gut of the caterpillar and gut cells are irreparably damaged. Once this damage occurs, Bta spores enter through the gut wall and germinate rapidly in the body cavity causing blood poisoning. The larvae then die in 1-3 days. As part of our research, the RHS would like to know where box tree moth has been seen. Please submit your records via our box tree moth survey (expected time to complete survey = two minutes). Where it has become impractical to control box treecaterpillar, consider using an alternative hedge or topiary plant. Ongoing trials of a variety of compactevergreen shrubs at RHS GardenWisley are showing promise as alternatives. The following all have small leaves and can be clipped into formal hedging styles:
