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

Grandevo CG Microbial Insecticide 4lb -- OMRI Listed

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. Manufactured by Pro Farm Group Inc. (formerly Marrone Bio Innovations).

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.
• Broad Pest Spectrum: Controls sucking and chewing insects, flies, and mites, including Aphids, Whitefly, Psyllids, Mealybugs, and Thrips.
• 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.
• 4lb Size: 4-Hour REI. Signal Word: Caution. Rate varies by crop and pest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the active ingredient in Grandevo CG?

The active ingredient is Chromobacterium subtsugae strain PRAA4-1, a naturally occurring soil bacterium that produces multiple insecticidal compounds with different modes of action against pest insects. This multi-compound approach is what allows Grandevo to combine repellency, feeding inhibition, and direct mortality in a single application.

What is the application rate for Grandevo CG?

Application rate varies depending on crop and pest. See the product label for specific rates and application timing recommendations.

Is Grandevo CG safe for beneficial insects?

Grandevo CG has reduced impact on many beneficial arthropods compared to broad-spectrum synthetic insecticides. Consult the product label and your certifier for specific beneficial insect compatibility guidance.

How does the 4lb size fit into a rotation program?

The 4lb package lets growers size their purchase to application volume and spray frequency. Rotating Grandevo's multi-mode microbial activity with conventional chemistries helps slow resistance development.
