BioWorks Molt-X is an organic bioinsecticide (Botanical Insecticide/ Nematicide – Emulsifiable Concentrate) containing 3% 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.
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.
