AzaGuard is a versatile, professional-grade insecticide and nematicide containing a potent 3% Azadirachtin concentration, designed to deliver broad-spectrum control over more than 300 insect species. This insecticide interrupts the insect lifecycle, preventing molting across various growth stages, including larval, pupal, and nymphal stages, which effectively reduces infestations.
It’s formulated to meet stringent National Organic Program (NOP) standards, making it an essential component in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and sustainable pest control practices.
Active Ingredient: Azadirachtin, the core active ingredient in AzaGuard, is a concentrated extract from the neem tree seeds, containing a high percentage of crucial limonoid compounds like nimbin, nimbidinin, and salannin.
Through an advanced biosynthesis process, AzaGuard offers a purified, high-grade Azadirachtin that maximizes efficacy against various insect species.
Certified & Approved for Organic Use: With OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) and cRc Kosher certifications, AzaGuard supports organic and sustainable agriculture, suitable for organic fruit, vegetable, and ornamental plant production, making it a top choice for organic growers.
Modes of Action: AzaGuard works on multiple levels as an insecticide, functioning as an insect growth regulator (IGR), anti-feedant, and ovi-position deterrent.
This multifunctional approach allows it to disrupt insect development and behavior, making it effective in reducing pest populations without risking resistance development. It immediately affects insect larvae upon application, preventing them from maturing and reproducing, which is critical for long-term pest management success.
Application Methods: AzaGuard is highly adaptable in terms of application. It can be used as a foliar spray, targeting insects on leaves, stems, and foliage, and can be tank-mixed with other synthetic or botanical insecticides for enhanced results.
It’s also well-suited for soil treatments, whether applied as a drench or chemigated through irrigation systems, to protect root systems from herbivorous insects.
Additionally, AzaGuard is compatible with high- and low-volume sprayers, fogging devices, and aerial equipment, making it easy to apply in both open-field and greenhouse environments.
Benefits for IPM Programs: AzaGuard’s formulation captures over 100 limonoid compounds, each contributing to its effectiveness. Its versatility and compatibility with other insecticides make it an ideal choice for IPM rotations, ensuring pests are effectively controlled without leading to resistance.
With a shelf life exceeding one year, it remains viable for long-term pest control planning.
By incorporating AzaGuard into your pest management strategies, you’ll have a natural, certified solution that actively controls a wide range of pests while aligning with organic and sustainable agricultural standards.
For Best Results: Apply AzaGuard to target pest populations at the vulnerable larval stage.
Regular, interval-based applications as part of an IPM program can help maintain low infestation levels and protect valuable crops and plants from damaging pests.
This powerful insecticide is engineered for growers who need a reliable, organic-compliant solution to meet today’s agricultural and pest control demands.
