Features & Benefits
- Product Highlight
- Effective against both adult and immature stages of the pes
- DES-X® is a contact insecticide/miticide that breaks down the cuticle and penetrates the body of the insect and or mite, causing rapid death.
- Contains potassium salts of fatty acids (also known as “insecticidal soap”) for effective control of various insect species.
- Formulated to provide optimum spreading across leaf surfaces or insect cuticle.
- Nonspecific, contact mode of action of DES-X makes a great choice for resistance management.
- DES-X can be used to knock down pest infestations prior to releasing beneficials. DES-X has no residual effects after the sprays have dried, making it compatible for use with biological control agents, beneficial insects, and beneficial predatory mites.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- Applicable Crop
- Insecticide Target Species
- How It Works
The insecticidal soap concentrate works by direct contact with target pests due to the specially selected fatty acids, which disrupt the cuticle (or outer layer) by breaking down protective waxes. DES-X then penetrates the body of the pest, causing degradation of cell membranes, which leads to leakage of cellular contents, ultimately killing the insect or mite pest.
- Application Rate
For field applications, apply a 2% dilution (2 gal of product/100 gal of water) at a rate of 75 to 200 gal/A using ground spray equipment. For use as a deer repellent, apply a 2% dilution (2.5 oz product/gal water) at a minimum 10 gal spray solution/acre. For more information, see the Certis USA website for the appropriate FIFRA Section 2(ee) recommendation for your state. See the label for specific rates and timing for target crops and pests.
