BioNex Pyrethrin Insecticide for Greenhouse and Nursery Pest Knockdown
BioNex pyrethrin insecticide delivers fast contact knockdown across aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies, scale, thrips, leafhoppers, and several beetle and caterpillar groups. Pyrethrins disrupt insect sodium channels at the IRAC Group 3A site for rapid kill. Canola oil acts as a smothering co-active and spreader across leaf surfaces. The two work together against eggs, larvae, and adults in one pass. EPA Reg. No. 67702-36 covers the product across U.S. greenhouse, shadehouse, nursery, hoophouse, and container-grown crops. The 1-gallon size handles routine knockdown sprays on a weekly scout interval.
Pyrethrin Canola Oil Insecticide with a 12-Hour REI and 0-Day PHI
Growers typically place BioNex in rotation with biopesticides on different IRAC groups to slow resistance buildup in greenhouse populations. The 12-hour REI lets the crew re-enter treated areas the next morning. The 0-day PHI lets you spray edible crops right up to harvest. The dual mode of action covers eggs, larvae, and adults, which closes some of the gaps where single-MoA biopesticides struggle. Coverage matters with contact products. Get full leaf coverage on the undersides for thrips and whitefly. BioWorks markets BioNex for use in organic and conventional programs. Verify the current OMRI listing status before applying on a certified-organic block.
