What is Orange Oil and why is revolutionising the biocontrol industry?
The cutting-edge Orange Oil technology was released over two decades ago by ORO AGRI, pioneering company in sustainable agriculture and founding member of Rovensa Next. They initiated a comprehensive research program with over 2000 field trials, developed over 200 patented formulations, and secured 1500 trademark applications, primarily utilizing Orange Oil plant extracts for biocontrol purposes with minimal environmental impact. Subsequent extensive research has broadened the capabilities of Orange Oil through varied formulations, concentrations, and patented technologies. Today, growers rely on innovative products from crop protection manufacturers to enhance yields and produce healthy food with minimal environmental footprint, facilitated by advancements in Orange Oil technology.
How is Rovensa Next Orange Oil produced?
Not all Orange Oils are created equal. Rovensa’s Next Orange Oil is meticulously derived from the peels of citrus sinensis fruits, utilizing a unique process that begins in the orchard with freshly harvested oranges—a completely renewable and natural resource. Rovensa’s Next exclusive Orange Oil is extracted through a distinct ‘cold-pressed’ method. This exceptional extraction technique of botanical compounds yields highly stable solvents, ensuring maximized efficacy while prioritizing safety for both farmers and the environment. Through this meticulous process, our Rovensa Next oil maintains its purity and integrity, rendering it suitable for a myriad of applications
What are the agricultural uses of Orange Oil?
Orange Oil is widely used across various agricultural sectors, notably in biocontrol, where it stands out as a pioneer by combining insecticide, fungicide, and acaricide effects in a single application.
Its efficacy in biocontrol has gained recognition, revolutionizing the biosolutions market. As agriculture faces increasing challenges like pest invasions and adverse weather, the adoption of innovative and sustainable solutions becomes crucial. Orange oil-based formulations emerge as promising tools for sustainable pest management, offering a multi-target approach to combat pests.
Rovensa Next Orange Oil formulations offer distinct advantages over conventional plant protection products, provide an ideal solution for resistance management strategies. These formulations act as “resistance breakers”, disrupting the buildup of resistance against conventional pesticides. Their high efficacy, derived from over two decades of research and development, is noteworthy. Additionally, recognizing the diverse agronomic practices and challenges across regions, Rovensa Next tailors products to meet specific regional requirements through collaboration with agronomists.
Furthermore, Orange Oil has numerous other applications, including as a soil conditioner, drift reduction agent, fertilizer, biocide, adjuvant, and biopesticide. These applications provide valuable inputs for farmers, facilitating the adoption of sustainable practices and enhancing efficiency in agricultural operations.
Orange Oil as a high-tech innovation

This practical advantage enhances growers’ profitability by delivering all-encompassing protection in a single product—a distinctive characteristic unmatched by other pesticides on the market
How does Orange Oil work?
Orange Oil operates through a physical mode of action, desiccating the cuticles of mites and soft-bodied insects, leading to their sudden death by exposing them to a loss of body fluids. It also affects flying insects by disrupting their protective covering and wing tension, rendering them unable to fly. As a biofungicide, it dries out fungal structures’ protective membranes, halting the spread of infection without harming healthy tissues. Early application at the first sign of pests is recommended for optimal control.
Incorporating Orange Oil into a regular spray program offers significant economic benefits by reducing pest populations before they reach damaging levels, potentially negating the need for more costly and resistance-prone pesticide applications.
Orange Oil-based formulations represent a paradigm shift in sustainable pest control for agriculture. With their high efficacy, environmental compatibility, and diverse applications, Orange Oil products offer effective tools for growers seeking a holistic approach to pest management.
At Rovensa Next, we are committed to partnering with distributors and growers to address sustainability challenges, making Orange Oil formulations not just a solution for today’s pest challenges but a step towards a more sustainable and resilient agricultural future.
