LALGUARD AZA
A water‑soluble, azadirachtin-based botanical insecticide effective against a variety of invasive insects.
Product details
LALGUARD AZA is a water-soluble, botanical insecticide applied by microinjection into the active sapwood of affected trees. The active ingredient, azadirachtin, is derived from the neem tree, and is an extract of neem seeds (not neem oil). It is not a neonicotinoid (i.e.: imidacloprid) or from the avermectin family of pesticides (i.e.: emamectin benzoate).
LALGUARD AZA is effective in controlling a wide variety of invasive pests which includes:
- Emerald Ash Borer
- Aphids
- Scales
- Defoliaters
Modes of Action
The active ingredient in LALGUARD AZA acts as in insect growth regulator. When ingested by the pest, azadirachtin:
- Inhibits young larvae from molting, eventually killing the larvae.
- Decreases adult female fertility, reducing the amount and viability of eggs laid.
- Stimulates an antifeedant response.
Key benefits
- Compatible with multiple tree injection systems, in addition to the EcoJect System.
- No known risk of resistance due to multiple modes of action, making it a key tool in IPM programs.
- Translocates rapidly (within 48 hours) throughout the tree, providing protection immediately post-injection.
- Degrades naturally within tree and leaf tissues, and does not persist in soil and aquatic environments.
- Formulated with a naturally occurring active ingredient that poses minimal risk to applicators, bystanders, bees, other pollinators, pets and wildlife.
