OrganiShield - Insecticide & Miticide

Brand: OrganiShield

OrganiShield Insecticide & Miticide

OrganiShield is a concentrated biochemical insecticide and miticide whose active ingredient is 40% sucrose octanoate esters, a compound made from sugar. It is EPA registered (EPA Reg. No. 75197-3) and kills soft-bodied insects and mites on contact, then breaks down to sucrose, water, carbon dioxide and fatty acids.

OrganiShield is labeled for greenhouse, nursery and field crop use. Mix at 0.8 to 1.0 percent in water (about 30 to 40 mL per gallon) and spray for complete coverage of the foliage, including leaf undersides, since the spray must contact the pests. It may be applied up to and including the day of harvest. Always read and follow the product label.
