Azatin O Insecticide - 32oz - OMRI Listed

Azatin O Insecticide - 32oz OMRI Listed - Azadirachtin IGR for Larval Pest Control in Greenhouse and Nursery

Azatin O is a biological insect growth regulator containing Azadirachtin that is specifically designed to control the larval stage of a broad spectrum of greenhouse and nursery insect pests. By targeting the larval stage - when insects are most vulnerable to IGR disruption - Azatin O prevents pest populations from maturing and reproducing, suppressing long-term population development. Azatin O is soft on beneficial insects, making it a compatible fit for augmentative biological control programs where predatory and parasitic insects are used alongside chemical applications. OMRI Listed for certified organic production. Suitable for ornamentals, vegetables, herbs, and berries grown in greenhouses, nurseries, interiorscapes, hydroponics, and turf. Rate: 4 to 16 oz per 100 gallons. REI: 4 hours. Signal Word: Caution.

Key Features & Benefits

• Targets Larval Stage: Most effective when applied during larval and nymphal pest stages - IGR activity prevents immature insects from developing into reproducing adults, breaking the population cycle at its most vulnerable point.
• Soft on Beneficial Insects: Selectivity makes Azatin O compatible with beneficial arthropods used in IPM programs - can be used alongside predatory mites, parasitic wasps, and other biological control agents.
• Azadirachtin Active Ingredient: Disrupts insect molting and development, preventing larvae from maturing to the adult stage. Multiple modes of action including IGR, antifeedant, and repellent activity.
• OMRI Listed - Organic Production: Certified for organic use. Labeled for ornamentals, vegetables, herbs, and berries across greenhouse, nursery, hydroponic, interiorscape, and turf applications.
• Low REI: 4-hour Re-Entry Interval and Caution signal word for use in facilities requiring frequent worker re-entry.

Who Should Use This

Azatin O is designed for greenhouse, nursery, and hydroponic producers managing larval-stage insect pests in organic or IPM production programs. Its compatibility with beneficial arthropods makes it particularly suited for operations that use predatory insects as a primary pest management tool and want a compatible supplemental insecticide for pest pressure spikes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pests does Azatin O control?

Azatin O controls the larval stages of a broad spectrum of greenhouse and nursery pests. See the product label for the complete labeled pest list including rates and application timing by pest species.

Why is Azatin O softer on beneficial insects than conventional insecticides?

Azadirachtin-based IGRs primarily affect insects that molt - the developmental process most active in larval stages. Many beneficial predatory insects and parasitoids are in adult or egg stages that are less affected by IGR disruption, and the antifeedant properties of Azadirachtin are less impactful on predatory behavior than most synthetic neurotoxic insecticides.

Is Azatin O effective in hydroponic systems?

Yes. Azatin O is labeled for use in hydroponic growing systems. Follow label directions for application rates and methods in hydroponic production environments.

Can Azatin O be used in certified organic production?

Yes. Azatin O is OMRI Listed for organic production. Confirm with your certifying organization before use in a certified organic program.
