In the US, crop protection manufacturer BioSafe Systems has announce the release of a new and improved formulation of its AzaGuard Insecticide/Nematicide.
A common inert used in emulsified concentrates was recently put on the Environmental Protection Agency watchlist, so to be proactive BioSafe Systems underwent the process of reformulating AzaGuard and updating the label through the EPA, to produce a more sustainable botanical insecticide which adheres to the company’s mission of providing highly effective but sustainable crop protection solutions.
Additionally, over 30 new crops were added to the label including arugula, globe artichokes, pomegranates and cranberries, to meet the increasing need for effective organic insect control solutions.
AzaGuard is a 3 per cent Azadirachtin Botanical Insecticide utilising the technical material that remains below 20 per cent by weight to maintain high levels of other important limonoids.
The inclusion of these limonoids in AzaGuard enhances the efficacy of the active ingredient as an insect growth regulator, insect repellant and anti-feedant.
In addition, AzaGuard is formulated in the US under strict quality control conditions from technical material extracted from newly harvested neem seeds. These manufacturing efforts ensure that AzaGuard maintains the maximum potency until used by customers, the group noted.
