THE KEMIN DIFFERENCE - INDISPUTABLE PRODUCT QUALITY

As a leader in the ingredient manufacturing industry for human and animal health and nutrition, Kemin has identified and cultivated plants, especially rosemary, that naturally produce molecules with high phytochemical actives and functional benefits. From these cultivated plants, Kemin Crop Technologies discovered new efficacy and applications for the horticulture market. By being one of the most vertically integrated suppliers of rosemary-based ingredients, Kemin ensures that every batch of product is consistent and free from contaminants. Customers can expect consistent efficacy every time they purchase Kemin products. Kemin follows rigorous Quality Control (QC) Testing. Our raw materials are reviewed for quality parameters, ensuring the active ingredients are present and have efficacy and all products that leave our facilities meet our QC criteria. Because of the high quality control standards at Kemin, the proprietary blend of active ingredients in TetraCURB Organic have proven efficacy in controlling spider mites, and a fast-acting miticide with a consistent performance each time. .

MANAGE PESTS AND UPGRADE YOUR INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WITH TETRACURB ORGANIC

• Versatile product to include in an IPM program anytime throughout the year and crop cycle
• No limitation on the number of applications per crop growing cycle, per season
• Broad crop application.

TetraCURB Organic uses multiple modes of action for complete pest control:

• Repellence effect: Rosemary oil is well known to have a strong repellent property. Because of rosemary oil’s volatility, even mites that are not in contact with TetraCURB Organic will be alarmed by vapor exposure. Avoidance behavior will kick in, and the mites will rapidly mobilize to leave the treated plants. This volatile rosemary-oil blend also helps TetraCURB Organic protect crops from the pest population establishment.
• Suffocation: TetraCURB Organic’s highly concentrated oil blend suffocates pests by blocking air from entering their spiracles, which prevents them from breathing.
• Paralysis: When TetraCURB Organic is used, the key components in its botanical oil blend act on pests’ octopamine receptors and acetylcholinesterase, the neural control modulators in their nervous systems. When TetraCURB Organic affects these neurotransmitters, it’s capable of overstimulating and disrupting the pest’s nervous system, leading to paralysis.
