It's a major step forward for organic growers as well as
people who are concerned about minimizing their impact on the environment. Before NimBioSysTM Neem
Oil Biological Insecticide, you could buy EPA-registered neem oil labeled to treat insect pests on crops, but the azadirachtin – generally
considered to be the most important insect-controlling compound – had been
removed and sold as a separate product. Neem oil has been used in tropical countries for thousands
of years and multiple international studies have documented its efficacy at
controlling up to 200 insect pests. Unlike toxic pesticides – including botanically
based products like permethrin that also kill beneficial insects – neem oil contains nearly 100 different
compounds that repel some pests, disrupt growth hormones in others and affect
fecundity in insects like house flies. The EPA registration comes after two years of extensive testing
and review of data from dozens of international studies with the final report
noting that 100% cold-pressed neem oil is “practically non-toxic.” NimBioSysTM Neem Oil Biological Insecticide is
labeled to treat a wide variety of pests including aphids, beetles, stink bugs,
leafhoppers, whiteflies, mealy bugs, mites, weevils, scale and thrips.
According to the EPA, the cold-pressed neem oil “will not cause adverse effects
to humans and other nontarget organisms when used according to label
directions.” Although we can only ship NimBioSys to Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Wyoming. we will continue to sell raw neem oil without the EPA-registered label across the country.
Along with internet sales, we are working to get NimBioSys on the
shelves of local garden shops as well as health food stores. “Florida
gardeners probably deal with more insect pests than people in any other state –
but they’re also very aware of the impact that toxic pesticides have on our
fragile ecosystems,” says Casey Fisher, retail sales manager. If you're a Florida retailer, please call Casey at 877-500-6336 for wholesale pricing. We're also offering free samples of the NimBioSys to Florida customers who introduce us to their favorite garden and health food stores.
