Organic Bioinsecticide Containing Azadirachtin
Molt-X is an organic bioinsecticide (Botanical Insecticide/ Nematicide - Emulsifiable Concentrate) - containing Azadirachtin, the most potent of the insect active compounds from the neem tree. Molt-X is an ideal material for an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.
Active Ingredient
Azadirachtin
Molt-X is an organic biological insecticide that provides broad spectrum control
- Aphids
- Cutworms
- Fungus gnats
- Leafhoppers
- Leafminers
- Leafrollers
- Mealybugs
- Plant-parasitic nematodes
- Sawflies
- Scales
- Thrips
- Webworms
- Whiteflies
What are the Molt-X modes of action?
Molt-X interferes with the key molting hormone, ecdysone, preventing insects from progressing from one life stage to the next. As an insect growth regulator, Molt-X causes insects to fail to mature and reproduce, eliminating populations over time, or keeping them at acceptable levels. In addition, Molt-X:
- Acts as an anti-feedant; insects will feed less or not at all on treated plant tissue. Foliage is not damaged, and insects ultimately starve to death
- Shows repellent action towards some adult species (highly dose-dependent)
- Reduces insect resistance by interference with insect enzyme metabolism
- Enhances susceptibility of pests to insecticides by reducing physical and physiological fitness
- Is anti-ovipository and repellent; the likelihood of insect infestation is decreased in treated plants.
Features & Benefits
- Leaves no residue on plant foliage, fruits, vegetables or flowers
- Molt-X is an OMRI Listed produc
- Compatible for tank mixing/rotation with other inputs
- Compatible with most commonly used insecticides, fungicides and fertilizers
- No phytotoxicity issues on most plants
- Insect Growth Regulator (IGR)
- Disrupts the molting process
- Exempt from residue tolerance
Insect Control
Molt-X is an organic biological insecticide that provides broad spectrum control of pests such as aphids, thrips, whiteflies and more.
Insect Growth Regulator
Works primarily as an Insect Growth Regulator that disrupts the molting process in insects. Protects against foliar and soil-borne pests.
Multiple Modes Of Action
Molt-X acts as a molting disruptor, insect repellent, antifeedant and ovipositional deterrent. These multiple modes of action make it a highly effective tool for resistance management.
Application Notes
- 2-3 applications, 7-10 days apart
- For best performance, tank mix or rotate with compatible products
- Best control will be achieved with full coverage of all leaf surfaces
- Surfactant may be added to improve product performance
- Can be applied as a drench to soil or soilless media, avoid excessive leaching
- Outdoor crops, vegetables and ornamentals: 8-10 oz/acre and 15 oz/ acre for nematode control, 22.5 oz/acre for extremely high pest pressure or dense plant canopy
- Greenhouse, shade house, interiorscape and nursery crops: 8-10 oz/100 ga
