DES-X® INSECTICIDAL SOAP CONCENTRATE can be used to treat plants prior to biological control agent release and to treat “hot spots” for pest control in greenhouses with subsequent release of beneficial mites and insects.

Des-X can be used in rotation with other biological insecticidal agents and with surfactants for increased effectiveness in your integrated pest management plan.
