BioSafe Expands AzaGuard Label
Jennifer Zurko
The EPA has approved a newly expanded label for BioSafe Systems’ AzaGuard Botanical Insecticide/Nematicide, including expanded use rates and new pests. AzaGuard’s use rates have been expanded to allow for a greater treatment range and better efficacy against strong infestations. In some cases, these expanded rates represent a doubling of the amount of AzaGuard used per hundred gallons of water.
Also new to the label are pests such as mites, caterpillars, borers, beetles, weevils, and nematodes on greenhouse and nursery crops. Newly added pests for outdoor and food crops include grasshoppers, chafers and moths.
AzaGuard is a 3% Azadirachtin insect growth regulator that is OMRI listed for organic use, and can be tank mixed with other BioSafe Systems’ chemicals as part of a complete pesticide program. AzaGuard is available in 32-oz. Tip N’ Pour containers providing precise measurement, and also in a 1-gal. size for larger applications. For more information about AzaGuard, please contact BioSafe Systems at (888) 273-3088.
