Ornazin™ for Ornamentals

An IGR from Nature...Naturally!

For effective control of whiteflies, fungus gnats, leafminers, thrips, aphids and other pests in greenhouses...incorporate Ornazin™ into IPM and resistance management programs.

How does it Work?

Ornazin™ 3% EC contains azadirachtin- a natural insect growth regulator and an effective component of conventional, IPM, or organic pest management programs. Azadirachtin interferes with the insect's key molting hormone, ecdysone, and prevents adult emergence.

Pests Controlled

Silverleaf Whiteflies-A major problem of poinsettias, salvias, hibiscus, gerbera daisies, verbena chrysanthemums, carnations, and roses. Monitor greenhouses with yellow sticky cards and treat with an adulticide when the number of trapped adults exceeds the threshold. Follow with two to three weekly applications of Ornazin™ (see label for proper rates and handling). While Ornazin™ does not kill adults, it works each time the pest molts- even in the hard to kill pupal stage.

Fungus Gnats and Shoreflies-A problem in poinsettias, mums, potted roses, lilies, geraniums, and other bedding plants. Monitor for fly activity with yellow sticky cards. Apply Ornazin™ two to three times per week as a surface drench until plants are ready for shipping. Ornazin™ will kill all larval and pupal stages, and protect from further infestations.

Leafminers- Larvae of leafminers feed on plant tissue, affecting photosynthesis and reducing aesthetic appeal. They are a significant problem on potted mums, dahlias, gerbera daisies, etc. Controlling leafminer has become increasingly difficult due to resistance. Ornazin™'s unique mode of action is key to an effective program. Start by spraying an adulticide to minimize the eggs. Follow with two to three weekly (5-7 days apart) applications of Ornazin™

Aphids-Green peach and cotton melon aphids suck sap from growing tips of roses, mums, carnations, gerbera daisies, etc. Aphids can also transmit certain plant viruses

Monitor activity of alates (winged aphids) with yellow sticky cards, and begin a control program of Ornazin™ + adulticide. Screening of greenhouse is recommended to physically exclude other pests.

Western Flower Thrips-Feed on the tips and petals of growing plants See aphid control.
