Bioworks Cintro - Insecticidal Soap Concentrate - OMRI Certified - 2.5 Gallon (2/Cs) (96/Plt)

Cintro is a broad-spectrum insecticidal soap concentrate formulated for the contact control of soft-bodied insect and mite pests, with minimal residual impact on beneficial insect populations.

Chemical Composition and Formulation
The active ingredient is Potassium Salts of Fatty Acids. It is formulated as a concentrate. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration number is 67702-11-68539.

Functional Mechanism and Design
This product acts as a contact insecticide, miticide, and fungicide. Upon direct contact, the soap solution dissolves the protective waxes and lipids in the insect's outer cuticle (exoskeleton) and disrupts cell membranes, leading to rapid dehydration and mortality of the target pest. It has no systemic or residual activity once the spray solution has dried on the plant surface.

Target Applications and Performance
Cintro is labeled for the control of a wide range of pests including aphids, whiteflies, thrips, spider mites, mealybugs, leafhoppers, and psyllids. It is intended for use in integrated pest management (IPM) programs across various cropping systems. A key performance feature is that beneficial insects can be reintroduced to the treated area as soon as the spray has dried.

Application Specifications and Protocol
The product is applied as a foliar spray after dilution with water. It is effective as both a preventative treatment and for control at early pest detection stages. It has a 12-hour restricted entry interval (REI) and a 0-day pre-harvest interval (PHI) for labeled crops. Users must refer to the official product label for specific application rates and complete instructions.

Handling and Safety
The product bears a CAUTION signal word. Applicators must wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes plus socks, and chemical-resistant gloves during handling and application. The 12-hour REI must be observed. The product is registered for use in specific states, including AK, CT, DE, GA, HI, ID, KS, KY, MD, ME, MO, MS, NH, NV, OH, OK, PA, RI, VA, WI, and WV, with registration pending in California.
