Key Benefits

• Helps control whiteflies, aphids, thrips, mealybugs and scale insects.

Target Pests and Recommended Crops

Target Pests: Whitefly, aphids, thrips, mealybugs and scale insects.

Recommended Crops: Use on agricultural, vegetable, fruit and horticultural crops where approved by the product label.

Dosage and Application

Application: Mix the recommended quantity with clean water and apply using the method specified on the label. For foliar spraying, ensure uniform coverage of pest-affected plant surfaces, including leaf undersides where sucking pests commonly occur.

Mode of Action

Verticillium lecanii is an insect-pathogenic fungus. Its spores attach to susceptible insects, germinate under favourable conditions and penetrate their outer covering. The fungus develops within the insect, disrupting normal biological functions and helping reduce pest populations.

Product Details

Precaution: Avoid mixing with incompatible chemical fungicides that may reduce fungal viability. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage, storage, application timing and safety. Biological effectiveness depends on environmental conditions and pest pressure.
