› Grower guide More information about Biopesticides
Sometimes you need a fast knockdown or a disease shield that still plays nice with your beneficials. That's what biopesticides do — natural-product control that's soft on biocontrol and the environment.
Shop biopesticides — microbial, botanical, and mineral-based products that manage pests and disease while staying gentle on your beneficial insects. These OMRI biopesticide products give you a clean knockdown and disease protection that integrates with living biocontrol instead of wiping it out.
Why choose biopesticides
Biopesticides carry short or zero re-entry and harvest intervals, leave minimal residue, and help manage resistance when rotated with other tools. Many are compatible with beneficials, which makes them ideal partners in organic and IPM programs.
How to use this collection
Use a horticultural oil for a quick, contact knockdown of soft-bodied pests before releasing beneficials, and apply microbial biofungicides preventatively to protect roots and foliage. Time applications to preserve your beneficials, and rotate modes of action.
What's in this collection
- SuffOil-X — ready-to-use horticultural oil for soft-bodied pests and eggs.
- CEASE (Bacillus subtilis) — biofungicide for powdery mildew, botrytis, and more.
- Asperello T34 (Trichoderma asperellum) — root-zone biofungicide for damping-off and root rots.
Frequently asked questions
What are biopesticides?
Pest- and disease-control products derived from natural materials — microbes, plant extracts, and minerals — that typically have low toxicity and short residual.
Are biopesticides organic?
Many are OMRI-listed for organic production; always check the specific product label for certification and approved uses.
Can I use biopesticides with beneficial insects?
Often yes — many are compatible, but time applications and check selectivity so you protect your beneficials.
Do biopesticides actually work?
Yes, especially preventatively and in rotation — they're a proven layer in organic and IPM programs rather than a one-shot rescue.
