DiPel DF
Product options
DiPel DF (Dry Flowable) is a biological insecticide formulated for those who prioritize natural, eco-friendly pest control. Perfectly suited for market gardeners and homesteaders who seek effective, organic solutions, this product harnesses the power of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a naturally occurring soil bacterium known for its targeted action against destructive caterpillars and other lepidopteran larvae.
Ideal for mixing in water and spraying directly on crops, DiPel DF offers a dust-free, dry formulation that’s easy to measure and apply. It's OMRI-listed, meaning it's safe for organic production. Market gardeners will appreciate its flexibility in targeting a wide range of crops, from leafy greens and vegetables to fruit and nut trees, berries, grains, and herbs.
DiPel DF won’t harm beneficial insects, making it ideal for a sustainable approach to farming. With DiPel DF, gardeners can protect their harvests naturally without compromising soil health or food safety.
Apply Up to Harvest – Short 0-Day PHI and 4-Hour REI.
We recommend applying DiPel DF with a Birchmeier handheld or backpack sprayer.
