Key Features and Benefits
Effective Control of Fungus Gnat Larvae: Gnatrol WDG is highly effective in controlling fungus gnat larvae, common pests in greenhouse environments. The larvae feed on plant roots, causing significant damage that can stunt growth and even kill young plants. Gnatrol WDG targets these larvae at the root level, preventing them from maturing into adults and breaking the pest cycle.
Biological Insecticide: Gnatrol WDG's active ingredient is Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. Israelensis (Israelensis) is a naturally occurring bacterium safe around people, pets, and beneficial insects. This biological mode of action makes Gnatrol WDG an excellent choice for integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
OMRI Listed for Organic Production: Gnatrol WDG is listed as OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute), confirming its compliance with organic production standards. This makes it a preferred choice for organic growers who need a practical yet environmentally friendly solution for fungus gnat control.
Versatile Application:This product is suitable for use in a wide range of environments, including greenhouses and nurseries, and for treating ornamental plants and vegetable crops. Whether managing a small garden or a large commercial operation, Gnatrol WDG provides the necessary flexibility.
Easy to Use Water-Dispersible Granule: Gnatrol WDG is formulated as a water-dispersible granule, making it easy to mix and apply. Add the granules to water, mix well, and use as a soil drench. The granules dissolve quickly and evenly, ensuring consistent application and coverage.
Safe for Plants and the Environment: Because Gnatrol WDG targets only fungus gnat larvae, it does not harm plants, beneficial insects, or the environment. This makes it an ideal choice for growers committed to sustainable and responsible farming practices.
