Instinct® II

Supplemental component to fertilizer mixtures that improves their absorption by plants and diminishes environmental hazards by maximizing nitrogen availability in the plants' root zone; consists of aqueous, microcapsule suspensions that are compatible with popular nitrogen fertilizers. Fertilizers are a major cause of air and water pollution. This product retains nitrate-based fertilizers in the plants' root zone, increasing the fertilizers' efficiency and decreasing the fertilizers' leaching into the soil and water.

Spinosad (Entrust® SC Nautralyte® Insect Control)

Pesticide produced from Saccharopolyspora spinosa that can effectively combat pests in many fruits and vegetables plantations. Traditional chemical pesticides negatively impact the environment and human health and allow pests to become resistant. Spinosad is readily biodegradable, has low mammalian and avian toxicity, and does not pose risks of groundwater contamination. Saccharopolyspora spinosa metabolizes spinosyn A and D (commonly known as Spinosad), which kills insects by attacking their neural systems.
