7 Organic Pesticides You Can Use Right Now In Your ULV Fogger
As an organic grower of high-value food and herb crops, you will want to refer frequently to the OMRI Product List or the OMRI Canada Product List. The OMRI seal is the gold standard that a pesticide has passed OMRI's technical review and is in harmony with organic standards.
Another great source of pesticide information is the National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC). The NPIC maintains lists of Organic Pesticide Ingredients and Low-Risk Pesticides.
Products that have been grown organically with bio-pesticides are not necessarily pesticide-free. Insecticides used in organic production often have naturally occurring ingredients.
Here's a short-list of 7 OMRI certified pesticides that you can use in your ultra-low volume fogger (ULV Fogger). Always read and follow the label instructions and Worker Protection Standard (WPS). It's an EPA law designed to protect workers from pesticide poisoning in greenhouses.
1. Azera Pro (Botanical Insecticide)
2. Milstop (Organic Fungicide)
3. Azaguard (Insect GrowthRegulator)
4. Guard 'N Spray (Botanical Oils)
5. Preferal (Microbial Insecticide)
6. Botaniguard ES (Mycoinsecticide)
7. Prestop (Biological Fungicide)
