Molt-X® Insect Growth Regulator - 32oz - OMRI Listed®

Molt-X® Insect Growth Regulator 32oz — OMRI Listed® | Azadirachtin | Beneficial Insect Safe

Molt-X is an Azadirachtin-based insect growth regulator (IGR) developed specifically for greenhouse pest management. Azadirachtin disrupts the hormonal processes governing molting in immature insects — preventing larvae and nymphs from developing into reproductive adults and breaking the pest population cycle over successive applications. Molt-X is OMRI Listed for organic production, is specifically noted as safe for beneficial insects, and is labeled for use on greenhouse vegetable and ornamental crops, nursery, turf, trees, and shrubs.

Key Features & Benefits

• Azadirachtin IGR — Disrupts Molting: Prevents immature insects from completing development into reproductive adults — most effective when applied early in pest population cycles before adults establish and reproduce.
• Safe for Beneficial Insects: Molt-X is specifically labeled as safe for beneficial arthropods — an important distinction for greenhouse IPM programs that rely on predatory mites, parasitic wasps, or other biological control agents alongside chemical tools.
• Broad Greenhouse Pest Spectrum: Controls Aphids, Thrips, Whiteflies, and a wide variety of greenhouse pests. See label for complete pest list.
• Wide Labeled Use Sites: Greenhouse vegetables, ornamental crops, nursery, turf, trees, and shrubs.
• OMRI Listed® for Organic Use: Certified for organic production programs.
• Application Rate: 8 to 10 oz per 100 gallons. REI: 4 hours. Signal Word: Caution.

Who Should Use This

Greenhouse growers and nursery operators running IPM programs that incorporate beneficial insects — Molt-X provides IGR activity against larval pest stages without disrupting beneficial arthropod populations. Particularly effective as a rotation partner in programs managing Azadirachtin resistance risk across a broad range of greenhouse pest species.
