OMRI Listed Organic Pest Control

The Organic Materials Review Institute, known as OMRI, is a leading independent nonprofit organization that reviews and approves products used by natural and organic farmers. Pest control and lawn care products reviewed and approved by OMRI are given OMRI Listed status and can designate their OMRI status on their label.

OMRI Listed insecticides and herbicides are certified to be used in the production of certified-organic crops, including meat, produce, and textiles. Many homeowners will also use OMRI Listed products in their homes and yards as they know these products may contain more natural and green ingredients than traditional products.

Not all products meet OMRI standards. In fact, 10-15% of products reviewed by OMRI are rejected. OMRI also advises manufacturers, homeowners, farmers, and others about their standards and how their products can be used in organic farming.

Many OMRI Listed products may also be labeled as green, natural, eco-friendly, and approved for use in organic gardening. But not all green or natural products are OMRI Listed, as OMRI sets their own standards while the terms “green” and “natural” are not regulated by the government or any other third-party organization. OMRI does ensure products that use the OMRI Listed logo on their products are in-fact OMRI Listed.

DoMyOwn’s selection of OMRI Listed products can be used by both amateur and professional farmers and in the production of livestock, including beef, poultry, and swine. The US government regulates the term “organic” for food and fiber products. By using OMRI Listed products in growing their food and fiber products, organic farmers are complying with government-set organic standards.

OMRI Listed products range from fertilizer to herbicides to pest control products, many of which are found at DoMyOwn.com. If you have a question about the difference between natural and OMRI rated products, give our customer service team a call at 866-581-7378 or email [email protected].
