BioWorks is pleased to
announce that the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) has
reviewed the company's EPA registered product - SuffOil-X™ Spray
Oil Emulsion, and approved the listing for use in organic
production.
SuffOil-X controls insects, mites and foliar fungi, including
powdery mildew, in a broad range of vegetable, nursery,
ornamental and greenhouse crops. It works by suffocating eggs,
larvae, and nymphs of adult soft bodied insects and mites.
SuffOil-X is a unique concentrate of pre-emulsified, highly
refined, high paraffinic, low aromatic oil. Its
pre-emulsification breaks down the oil particles so that a very
thin, uniform coating of oil is applied to the plant. The oil
smothers and kills pests with a very low risk of burn or stress
to plants. Pre-emulsification also enables the product to dilute
easier with water and more thoroughly than other horticultural
spray oils, without requiring rigorous agitation to keep the mix
in suspension.
SuffOil-X has excellent compatibility with pesticides labeled
for use with oils, and has a 4-hour Restricted Entry Interval
(REI).
BioWorks, Inc., a privately held company, provides
environmentally responsible, safe and cost-effective solutions
to the horticulture industry. BioWorks is a founding member of
the BioPesticide Industry Alliance. |
