COVERSTORY

Organocide ® by Organic Laboratories, Inc.
M
any indoor horticulturists are turning
away from using harsh chemicals in their
gardens and, instead, are relying on effec-
tive, environmentally-friendly products to
fertilize and protect their plants. Not only are organic
and environmentally-friendly products better choices
for the planet, they tend to be the best choices for
maintaining the quality of an indoor crop. After work-
ing tirelessly for months to produce bountiful fruits or
fl owers, the last thing an indoor grower should do is
taint his or her crop with a harsh chemical pesticide or
fungicide. The unfortunate truth, however, is that pest
insects and pathogenic fungi can rear their ugly heads
at the most inconvenient times.
To preserve the quality of the crop and protect it
from further damage, cultivators need powerful pest
insect controls in their arsenals. However, effective
products don’t necessarily have to be derived from
harsh chemicals. One company that specializes in
earth-friendly pest insect solutions for indoor garden-
ers is Organic Laboratories, Inc. Perhaps best known
for its Organocide line of environmentally-friendly
products, Organic Laboratories has helped many hor-
ticulturists protect their plants from pest insects and
pathogenic fungi without having to compromise the
quality of the plants.
