VectoBac 12AS

VectoBac 12AS is a professional-grade liquid biological larvicide formulated for the control of mosquito and black fly larvae in aquatic habitats. Its active ingredient, Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis (Bti) strain AM65-52, is a naturally occurring bacterium that specifically targets the larvae of biting insects, making it highly effective and environmentally responsible. When ingested by larvae, the Bti proteins disrupt gut function, causing feeding to cease and death to occur within hours to days. This mode of action ensures precise control of mosquito populations before they mature into biting adults, reducing the risk of disease transmission. In addition to mosquitoes and black flies, VectoBac 12AS is also effective against fungus gnat larvae, providing broad coverage for both public health and horticultural settings. This aqueous suspension delivers a potency of 1,200 International Toxic Units (ITU) per milligram, with fine 2–9 micron particles that remain suspended in water where larvae feed. Safe for humans, pets, wildlife, fish, and beneficial insects, VectoBac 12AS integrates seamlessly into environmentally sustainable pest management programs, with no chemical residues and no withholding period required.

Organic Crop Protectants - OCP

OCP Eco-Caterpillar Killer

Eco-Caterpillar Killer is a certified organic biological insecticide designed to control leaf-eating caterpillars on vegetables, herbs, fruit trees, vines, shrubs, flowers, and ornamentals. Its active ingredient, Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (BtK), is a naturally occurring soil bacterium that specifically targets caterpillars without harming humans, pets, beneficial insects, or wildlife. Once caterpillars consume treated foliage, feeding stops within hours and death follows within 3–4 days. This makes it an effective and environmentally responsible alternative to broad-spectrum chemical sprays. Supplied in easy-to-use sachets, Eco-Caterpillar Killer provides precise mixing with minimal waste, ensuring consistent results in home gardens and organic growing systems.

PureCrop1

PureCrop1 is a multi-purpose plant-based biostimulant that functions as an insecticide, fungicide, surfactant, and plant health enhancer. Developed using colloidal micelle nanotechnology, it provides growers with a safe and effective way to protect crops from pests and diseases while supporting resilience against environmental stress. Unlike heavy oils, its micelle formulation spreads easily, penetrates leaf surfaces, and leaves no harmful residue. The micelle molecules in PureCrop1 are 1–4 nanometres in size, enabling them to disrupt pest cell membranes and fungal spores while delivering beneficial fatty acids directly into plant tissues. This enhances the plant’s natural defences, improves nutrient uptake, and increases Brix levels for healthier growth. By combining multiple modes of action in one product, PureCrop1 reduces the need for separate sprays, saving both time and cost. Made from seven natural plant-derived ingredients, PureCrop1 is OMRI-listed for organic use and is safe for people, pets, pollinators, and beneficial insects when used as directed. It can be applied right up to harvest with no withholding period, making it a versatile and trustworthy option for both hobby and professional growers across soil, coco, and hydroponic systems.

Optic Foliar

Optic Foliar Evios

Optic Foliar Evios is an oil‑free, odourless foliar pest control formulated from plant‑based extracts to eliminate soft‑bodied insects such as spider mites, whiteflies, thrips, and fungus gnats. Designed to work on contact without leaving residue or affecting flower aroma, Evios delivers rapid knockdown and protection through late bloom while remaining gentle on delicate plant tissues. Evios integrates easily into IPM programs as a clean, low‑odour option that won’t clog stomata or leave oily films. It mixes clearly, sprays evenly, and rinses clean, helping you keep flowers pristine while suppressing pest pressure across vegetative and flowering stages. For fastest uptake and broader coverage, Evios is commonly paired with a foliar penetrant; however, Evios itself remains flower‑safe and residue‑free when used as directed.
