General Hydroponics® AzaMax™ Biological Insecticide, Miticide & Nematicide - 16oz - Concentrate - OMRI Listed®

EPA-Registered Biological Pest Control — General Hydroponics AzaMax™, 16oz Concentrate

AzaMax is an EPA-registered, OMRI Listed® biological insecticide, miticide, and nematicide developed for indoor and outdoor crop protection. It contains Azadirachtin A & B as active ingredients along with over 100 additional limonoid compounds extracted from neem, without the use of hard chemical solvents. AzaMax works as an antifeedant and insect growth regulator (IGR), controlling pest populations through starvation, by disrupting feeding behavior, and growth disruption, by preventing larvae from developing into reproductive adults.

Key Features & Benefits

• Azadirachtin A & B — 1.2% Active Ingredient: Both Azadirachtin isomers are present for broad IGR and antifeedant efficacy across a wide range of insect species.
• 100+ Limonoid Compounds: Captures the full limonoid profile of neem, giving multi-mode action against insects at several life stages.
• No Hard Chemical Solvents: Formulated without harsh chemical extraction solvents, for a cleaner formulation in closed production environments.
• Dual Mode of Action: Stops insects from feeding (starvation) and disrupts molting and development (growth disruption), attacking pest populations through two pathways.
• Broad Pest Spectrum: Controls spider mites, thrips, fungus gnats, aphids, whiteflies, leaf miners, worms, beetles, leafhoppers, scales, mealybugs, nematodes, and other soil-borne pests.
• OMRI Listed® for Organic Use: Meets National Organic Program standards.

Who Should Use This

AzaMax is especially useful in container and interiorscape environments where both soil-borne pest control, such as nematodes and fungus gnat larvae, and foliar pest management are needed from a single product.
