One of the standout advantages of EpiShield is the absence of Restricted Entry Interval (REI) or Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) restrictions. This means that after application, there are no mandated waiting periods before re-entering the treated area or harvesting crops. This reduces downtime for farmers who require around-the-clock care for their crops. EpiShield also offers remarkably lower use rates than alternative oil insecticides, with 10 to 28 times less reductions.
Growers who purchase the product have up to 12 months of shelf life before it expires.
“EpiShield gives growers the ideal flexibility for dealing with their mite and insect pest populations,” said Technical Services Manager at BioWorks, Julie Graesch. “With low use rates, no restricted entry interval, and strong efficacy, EpiShield is an excellent tool for their IPM programs.”
