Grandevo® CG Microbial Insecticide - 4lb - OMRI Listed®

Grandevo® CG Microbial Insecticide 4lb — OMRI Listed® | Chromobacterium subtsugae | Multi-Mode Pest Control

Grandevo CG is a microbial-based insecticide containing Chromobacterium subtsugae strain PRAA4-1 — a naturally occurring soil bacterium that produces multiple active compounds with distinct modes of action against insect pests. Grandevo disrupts pest populations through repellency, feeding inhibition, reproduction reduction, and direct mortality — combining four complementary mechanisms to prevent damaging pest populations from developing on organic and conventional crops. Labeled for use on fruits, vegetables, nuts, turf, and ornamentals. OMRI Listed for organic production.

Key Features & Benefits

• Multi-Mode Microbial Action: Chromobacterium subtsugae produces several active compounds that simultaneously repel insects, inhibit feeding, reduce egg-laying and reproduction, and cause direct mortality — reducing the probability of resistance developing compared to single-mode-of-action chemistry.
• Broad Pest Spectrum: Controls sucking and chewing insects, flies, and mites — including Aphids, Whitefly, Psyllids, Mealybugs, and Thrips. See label for complete pest list.
• Organic & Conventional Crop Use: Labeled for a wide range of organic and conventional crops including fruits, vegetables, nuts, turf, and ornamentals.
• OMRI Listed® for Organic Use: Certified for use in certified organic production programs.
• 4-Hour REI: Signal Word: Caution. Rate varies by crop and pest — see product label.
