Do you have mites or whitefly or leaf miners!

Do you have spodoptera, heliothis, bollworm, aphids, fleas, fungus gnats, beetles, moth larvae, mushroom flies, caterpillars, locust, nematodes or Japanese beetle!

Do you have bugs!

Whatever the problem, its Spinosad to the rescue!

Spinosad, derived from the bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa, has become a prominent biopesticide in organic agriculture due to its efficacy and environmentally friendly characteristics. Spinosad was discovered in the 1980s as a fermentation product of Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Since then, it has gained recognition for its potent insecticidal properties and is widely used in organic farming.

Spinosad has received organic certifications from various organizations, including the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Organic Program (USDA NOP), Canada Organic Regime (COR), European Union Organic Certification, and many other national and international organic certification bodies.

Spinosad is the go to solution for organic farmers and home gardens around the world. It is a broad spectrum insecticide will great efficacy and a short pre-harvest interval.

Spinosad is renowned for its environmentally friendly characteristics. It exhibits low toxicity to non-target organisms, breaks down rapidly in the environment, and minimizes the ecological impact associated with synthetic chemical pesticides.

It has demonstrated high efficacy against a wide range of pests, including caterpillars, beetles, thrips, and mites. Its unique mode of action disrupts the insect’s nervous system, impairing feeding, growth, and reproduction.

It’s distinct mode of action reduces the likelihood of pests developing resistance, making it an invaluable tool for integrated pest management (IPM) strategies in organic farming.

It offers a short pre-harvest interval, enabling farmers to apply the biopesticide closer to the harvest period without prolonged waiting periods, ensuring effective pest control.

With its low toxicity to humans, spinosad poses minimal risks to farmworkers, consumers, and nearby communities. It helps reduce the potential health hazards associated with pesticide exposure in agricultural settings.

Overall, spinosad is an effective and safe pesticide that is approved for use in organic agriculture. It is selective and broad-spectrum, making it effective against a wide variety of pests. It is especially effective against caterpillars and thrips, which are two of the most important pest groups on annual and perennial flowers.

Its going to be both your magic wand and your secret delight!
