Discovering OrganiShield

In the late 1990s, a team of researchers discovered something fascinating about certain plants. They found that some plants in nature secrete a particular molecule called sucrose octanoate from the tiny hairs on their leaves to ward off pests. They were amazed to learn that this molecule had insecticidal properties, dissolving the waxy protective coating of target pests, causing them to dry out and die.

Inspired by nature’s solution, the team embarked on years of research to find a way to produce this molecule for organic insecticidal purposes on a commercially viable scale. Finally, they succeeded in formulating a process and methodology to create OrganiShield, with its active ingredient sucrose octanoate. This breakthrough allowed them to bring nature’s most effective and safest pest control to the world.

And so, the story of OrganiShield began, rooted in the discovery of a remarkable molecule and the power of nature, providing the beautiful ‘āina of Hawaii with an unparalleled, eco-friendly solution for pest control.

Energy Generation

According to the U.S. EPA, the substance biodegrades quickly, reducing the potential for adverse biochemical or chemical interactions. Products containing sucrose octanoate esters (SOEs) break down into inert components including sucrose, fatty acids, carbon dioxide, and water, all of which are nontoxic. SOEs rapidly biodegrade and do not persist or accumulate in the environment (U.S. EPA, 2002a). OrganiShield is the only product you will find in Hawaii that offers such a safe and effective solution for pest control. Perfect for use on fruits, vegetables, hemp, and more, our product ensures that your plants are protected without harming the environment. Embrace the best of nature with OrganiShield, providing unparalleled protection for your crops and peace of mind for you.
