Fast-Acting Contact Insect & Mite Control for Organic & IPM Cultivation

BioWorks Cintro™ – 2.5 Gallon is a professional-grade, OMRI-listed insecticidal soap concentrate engineered to deliver rapid contact knockdown against resilient soft-bodied insects and mites. Formulated with select potassium salts of fatty acids, Cintro™ penetrates the tough, waxy outer cuticles that often shield pests from conventional sprays. Whether deployed as a preventative foliar treatment or at the earliest sign of pest pressure, this concentrated formula provides dependable suppression across indoor hydroponic gardens, greenhouses, nurseries, and commercial specialty crop facilities.

How BioWorks Cintro™ Works on Contact

Many common greenhouse and indoor garden pests rely on hydrophobic, waxy cuticles to repel liquid sprays and survive treatment. Upon thorough contact, Cintro™ dissolves the insect’s protective outer waxes and disrupts underlying cellular membranes, leading to rapid dehydration and pest elimination. Because Cintro™ acts strictly on wet contact and leaves behind zero persistent chemical residue once dry, beneficial predators and parasitoids can be safely reintroduced to your canopy as soon as treated foliage has dried.

Key Features & Operational Benefits

Broad-Spectrum Soft-Bodied Pest Control: Effectively targets aphids, whiteflies, thrips, spider mites, mealybugs, leafhoppers, psyllids, plant bugs, earwigs, sawfly larvae, and tent caterpillars.
Seamless IPM & Beneficial Insect Compatibility: Leaves zero residual insecticidal activity after drying, making it an ideal rotational tool alongside predatory mites, lacewings, and parasitic wasps.
OMRI Listed for Organic Production: Approved for certified organic crop production as well as conventional indoor and greenhouse growing programs.
Flexible Harvest & Re-Entry Windows: Features a 0-day Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) and a 12-hour Restricted-Entry Interval (REI), enabling treatment right up to harvest without sacrificing crop quality.
Multi-Crop & Cutting Dip Versatility: Labeled for indoor commercial crops, vegetables, herbs, fruit trees, bedding plants, ornamentals, houseplants, and cutting dips for greenhouse propagation.

Application Rates & Best Practices

Because BioWorks Cintro™ relies on direct physical contact with target pests, thorough spray coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces is essential for maximum performance.

Standard Foliar Spray Rate: Dilute at a 1% to 2% solution—1 gallon to 2 gallons of Cintro™ per 100 gallons of water (approximately 1.28 to 2.56 fl. oz. per gallon of water)—depending on target pest pressure and crop sensitivity.
Application Timing & Frequency: Apply preventatively every 7 to 14 days or at the first sign of pest activity. Limit applications to 3 consecutive sprays based on infestation levels.
Environmental Precautions: Spray during early morning, evening, or overcast periods to slow evaporation and maximize wet contact time. Do not apply during full sun, extreme heat, drought stress, or onto delicate ferns, sweet peas, nasturtiums, or coloring poinsettia bracts.
