New Products from A Long-Time ARBICO Partner
Here at ARBICO Organics, we would not be able to provide consistently excellent products to our customers without the support of our trusted vendor partners. Of all these partners, BioWorks® is one of our most trusted. For 20 years now, we have been working with their knowledgeable, innovative, and professional staff to bring you a line of exceptional products that help create extraordinary plants. We have continuously carried their tried-and-true products, like SuffOil-X, MilStop SP, and Molt-X, and eagerly embrace their new products as they come along. Right now, we have two great new products to offer – Principle™ WP and EpiShield® O. Keep reading to hear more on these two, and when you get a chance, go to our vendor page for BioWorks and see the whole line of their products. One more thing: we have two additional BioWorks products in the pipeline. Check here for more information in the not-too-distant future.
Principle™ WP
Although this is a new BioWorks product, its active ingredient is one that is familiar - Beauveria bassiana (Strain BW149). This live fungus has been used for decades and its best-in-class efficacy in controlling some of the most damaging crop pests is undisputed. What makes organic Principle WP a novel product is its wettable powder formulation – it improves mixability, dissolves quickly in water, is low dust, has minimal leaf residue, no phytotoxicity, and is resistance-free. OMRI-listed Principle WP controls multiple life stages of aphids, beetles, cabbage loopers, grasshoppers, diamondback moths, mealybugs, psyllids, thrips, weevils, whiteflies, and more. It can be used in fields, landscapes, nurseries and greenhouses.
EpiShield® O
OMRI-listed EpiShield O is a botanical insecticide and miticide made from a proprietary blend of peppermint and clove essential oils. This new formulation has been developed to provide ease of use for growers combined with high mortality rates for targeted insects, low application rates, no risk of resistance or residue tolerance, and various modes of action. EpiShield O has a relatively low oil content, which offers less chance of phytotoxicity and more flexibility with applications. This concentrated product can be used indoors or outdoors on a wide range of agricultural and commercial crops and is effective against aphids, mealybugs, mites, spider mites, thrips, whiteflies and more. Exempt from REI & PHI. And it smells good too!
