Organic Insecticide - Acaricide
Bemix is an Organic OMRI certified insecticide-acaricide containing a blend of essential oils plus specialized organic surfactants in a highly specialized formulation.
Bemix is formulated as a nano emulsion to maximize its efficacy and to enable an effective distribution of the active ingredients on target site.
Bemix is not a pesticide, and all its ingredients are exempt from tolerances set by the US EPA on all food crops. Therefore Bemix is not subjected to requirements such as: PHI (Pre harvest interval period), Reentry period, and Import tolerances (residue levels at harvest).
When Bemix is applied to the leaves, it immediately adheres to the foliar surface, and the cell walls of insects and mites come into contact with the hydrophilic interface between the leaf surface and the pests. This is followed by a rapid attraction between BEMIX molecules and the negative ions of the cell wall and plasma membrane.
- OMRI and KIWA Listed
- Improves the efficacy of insecticidal sprays
- Increases the amount of insecticide taken into the target insect or mite
- Provides superior insecticide/acaricide spray coverage
- Assists insecticide/acaricide adhesion to leaf surface
- Increases the efficacy of contact, systemic and translaminar insecticides & acaricides
- Helps to prolong residual activity of insecticides & acaricides, thus, increasing its percentage of control
- Accelerates insecticide spray penetration into leaves when using systemic insecticides
- Reduces insecticide/acaricide spray evaporation from the leaf surface
Mode and Mechanism of Action
Uses
A broad variety of crops including Wheat, Alfalfa, Pastures, Field Corn, Sweet Corn, Soybeans, Beans, Peas, Sorghum, Oat, Sugar cane, Vegetable Root Bulb or Tuber Crops (Potatoes, Onions, etc.) Tomatoes, Peppers, Leafy Vegetables (Lettuce, Spinach, Cauliflower, Broccoli, etc), Cucurbits (Melons, Watermelon, Squash, Zucchini, etc.), Table Grapes and Wine Grapes, Strawberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, Cranberries, Kiwi, Pome Fruits (Apples, Pears, etc.), Stone Fruits (Plums, Nectarines, etc.) Citrus, Avocadoes, Rice, Asparagus, Okra, Nut Crops (Peanuts, Almonds, Walnuts, etc), Olives, Ornamentals, Landscape.
Use Rate
16 – 18 oz/ac
The organic permeabilizers and organic penetrants used in the formulation of BEMIX adhere to the outer wall of the insect and mite cell membrane, disrupting or compromising it by removing calcium and magnesium ions from the lipo-hydrophilic membrane via chelation.
Symptoms
- Paralysis: Within the first 12 • Of hours, it causes an immediate knockout effect in some cases. This symptom is an irreversible sign of death
- Death: Insects do not recover, leading to rapid mortality, . usuallv within 24 hours after application.
Monitoring
It is recommended to conduct evaluations 1 to 3 days after application.
- Offers efficacy comparable to synthetic products.
- Does not harm the environment.
- Does not affect beneficial fauna or pollinating bees.
- Key tool for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and resistance management.
- Compatible for tank mixing with commonly used crop protection products, including biologicals.
- Enhances foliar absorption and the penetration of insecticides and acaricides through spiracles.
- Pleasant cinnamon scent.
| Crop | Pest | Rate (L/200 water) | Observations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Specialty and row crops, including: Corn, Soy Beans, Leafy Vegetables, Cucurbits, Berries, Grapes, Potatoes, Onions, Banana, Pineapples, Fruit and Nut trees | Soft-bodied insects (Whitefly, Aphids, Leafminers, others) Thrips __________________ Mites | 0.35 to 0.6 1.0 __________________ 0.6 to 0.7 | It is recommended to apply two consecutive applications. Use a water volume that allows maximum application coverage. The use of an adjuvant that enhances application coverage is recommended. |
