Zack-- I have never used Orthenex, so I'm not sure but I'm guessing those other ingredients are minor and are OK. The company had a patent on Orthene (acephate) and when the patent ran out, they simply made a new formula that was slightly different, patented it, and called it Orthenex, although many people decided to buy the cheaper generic equivalent of Orthene (acephate) at that time. It worked well and there was no reason to pay more for essentially the same active ingredient.
I remember reading (several years ago when the patent ran out and Orthenex appeared) that users tended to prefer the older Orthene (acephate) to the new Orthenex (acephate and a few other things). They said something like it had an oily residue of some kind, and I think that several might have complained about leaf margin burn or browning. But please don't take my bad memory as the truth. Instead, it might help to do an Internet search for the two terms to see comments and comparisons.
I use only generic acephate (the old Orthene), so I can't comment much more than I already have about Orthenex. Perhaps someone else can--
