NoFly® WP Mycoinsecticide - 20lb - OMRI Listed®

NoFly® WP Mycoinsecticide 20lb — OMRI Listed® | Isaria fumosorosea | Egg & Larval Control

NoFly WP is a high-concentration mycoinsecticide — an insecticide based on a living entomopathogenic (insect-killing) fungus. The active ingredient, Isaria fumosorosea strain FE 9901, is a naturally occurring soil fungus that infects and kills select insect pests while being non-pathogenic to beneficial arthropods. NoFly WP is specifically formulated for high propagule concentration, ensuring reliable pest contact and infection under greenhouse production conditions. Effective against eggs and larvae of Whiteflies, Aphids, Thrips, and Mealybugs — the most economically damaging pest stages in greenhouse ornamental production. Compatible with many conventional chemical insecticides and OMRI Listed for organic use.

Key Features & Benefits

• Isaria fumosorosea Strain FE 9901 — Aggressive Entomopathogen: This specific strain is selected for its aggressive infection rate and efficacy against greenhouse insect pests — the fungal spores contact the insect cuticle, germinate, and penetrate the host to cause infection and death.
• Targets Eggs & Larvae: Most effective against egg and larval pest stages — the periods when pest populations are most vulnerable and before adults reproduce to expand infestations.
• Non-Pathogenic to Beneficial Insects: NoFly WP is safe for beneficial arthropods including predatory mites, parasitic wasps, and other biocontrol agents — making it a practical tool in IPM programs incorporating biological control releases.
• Chemical Compatibility: Compatible with many conventional chemical insecticides — can be integrated into existing chemical spray programs as a biological rotation partner.
• Labeled for Greenhouse & Nursery Ornamentals: Specifically developed for controlled-environment ornamental production where Whitefly, Thrips, Aphid, and Mealybug pressure is persistent.
• OMRI Listed® for Organic Use.
• Rate: Rate: 1–4 lbs per acre. REI: 4 hours. Signal Word: Caution.

Who Should Use This

Greenhouse and nursery ornamental producers managing Whitefly, Aphid, Thrips, and Mealybug populations in IPM programs — particularly operations that incorporate beneficial insect releases and need biological insecticide options compatible with their biocontrol program.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mycoinsecticide?

A mycoinsecticide is an insecticide based on a living entomopathogenic (insect-killing) fungus. Isaria fumosorosea spores contact the insect cuticle, germinate, and penetrate the host body — causing infection and death from within. Unlike chemical insecticides, mycoinsecticides require live spores to remain viable and effective.

Is NoFly WP safe to use with beneficial insect releases?

Yes. NoFly WP is non-pathogenic to beneficial arthropods — it can be used in greenhouses where predatory mite or parasitic wasp releases are part of the pest management program without harming those populations.

Does NoFly WP require special storage?

Yes. As a live biological product, NoFly WP requires cool, dry storage conditions to maintain spore viability. Follow the product label storage guidelines and observe the expiration date to ensure product efficacy.
