BioWorks EpiShield, available in a 2.5-gallon size, is a cutting-edge miticide and insecticide that revolutionizes pest control with its unique formulation. Made from botanical ingredients, including peppermint and clove oils, EpiShield delivers outstanding control over mites, aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and mealybugs with a significantly reduced risk of phytotoxicity. It provides growers with a safer and more efficient solution, featuring 10x lower use rates compared to traditional horticultural oils, ensuring superior efficacy without the downsides of high oil content.
EpiShield's formulation achieves up to 53% higher mortality rates on pests like mites and aphids by targeting them with multiple modes of action—paralyzing, suffocating, and desiccating pests on contact. Its lower oil content and essential oils ensure that plants remain protected without the risk of pest resistance or residue tolerance issues, making it ideal for both commercial growers and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.
With no Restricted Entry Interval (REI) or Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI), EpiShield allows continuous greenhouse operations, enabling uninterrupted production. It requires minimal personal protective equipment (PPE) and no special spray equipment, making it easy to incorporate into any pest control regimen.
