Insect control
AzaSol from Arborjet is the first water-soluble powdered azadirachtin product. It’s also solvent free and shelf stable for more than two years. By mixing AzaSol with water at the time of application, the solubility allows for superior flow, absorption and utilization by plants, and because it is biologically based can be applied the day of harvest. The 6 percent solution offers the highest concentration available on the market. It’s intended for use on outdoor plants, food crops, mushroom houses, plants grown indoors or in greenhouses, shade cloth, interiorscapes and nurseries. AzaSol can be applied via soil drench, chemigation, injection or spray. READER SERVICE #44
