Biofighter Plus – EPN-Based Live Microbial Biocontrol for Soil & Foliar Pests

Biofighter Plus uses advanced EPN (entomopathogenic) technology — a live, naturally occurring microbial solution that actively seeks and infects insect pests in soil and on plants. When applied, these microorganisms search for target pests, enter the host and develop endoparasitically, providing an efficient, fast and residue-free control of a wide range of larval and soil-dwelling pests. Biofighter Plus reduces dependence on chemical insecticides and is ideal for IPM programs and sustainable farming.

Key Benefits

Fast & Effective Larval Control: Targets and kills soil and foliar pest larvae quickly via natural infection.
Residue-Free: Leaves no chemical residues — safe for harvest and export produce.
Eco-Friendly IPM Tool: Integrates well with integrated pest management systems and reduces chemical load.
Easy Application: Can be applied by spray, drench or through irrigation systems.
Non-Toxic: Harmless to beneficial organisms, pollinators and the broader agro-ecosystem.
Improves Yield: By reducing pest damage, supports healthier crop growth and improved yields.

Application & Dosage

Each 100 g packet is calibrated for 1/10 acre. For best results, mix in clean water and apply immediately. Follow the steps below:

Method	Dosage & Instructions
Spray / Foliar Drench	Dissolve 1 packet (100 g) in a bucket containing 20 litres of clean water, stir gently and allow suspension to homogenize. Use the prepared solution to spray the infested area; target soil/plant base and lower canopy. Scale quantity to field size: 1 packet treats 1/10 acre; for 1 acre use 10 packets in appropriate total water volume.
Soil Drench / Irrigation	Dissolve as above and apply in irrigation channels or as a soil drench near infested zones and planting rows. Ensure even distribution and avoid strong agitation that may damage live organisms.

Timing: Apply when larvae are active (early infestation stage) or as soon as damage is observed. For persistent infestations, repeat application after 7–14 days as needed. Avoid using chlorinated or biocidal water that may reduce viability.

Recommended Crops

Suitable for sugarcane, vegetables, cereals, fruits, flowering & ornamental crops, orchards and many other field and horticultural crops.

Usage Recommendations & Compatibility

Apply in early morning or late evening to maximize survival of live microbes.
Do not mix with strong chemical insecticides, fungicides, or disinfectants — perform compatibility checks if mixing is unavoidable.
Use clean, chlorine-free water; avoid very hot water or prolonged exposure to sunlight after preparation.
Store packets in a cool, dry place and use immediately after dilution for best efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What pests does Biofighter Plus control?
Biofighter Plus targets soil-dwelling and foliar larval pests such as white grubs, termite larvae, loopers, fall armyworm, shoot borers and various moth/beetle larvae.

Q2: How much area does one packet cover?
One 100 g packet is formulated to treat 1/10 acre when diluted in about 20 litres of water. For 1 acre, use 10 packets proportionally mixed in suitable total water volume.

Q3: Can Biofighter Plus be used with chemical insecticides?
It is best used as part of IPM and should not be mixed with strong chemical insecticides or disinfectants that kill beneficial microbes. If tank-mixing is necessary, conduct a small jar test and field trial first.

Q4: Is it safe for beneficial insects and the environment?
Yes — Biofighter Plus is non-toxic to non-target organisms and is designed to be environmentally friendly and residue-free.

Q5: When should I reapply after the first treatment?
Reapply after 7–14 days if pest pressure persists or if new infestations are observed. Timing depends on pest lifecycle and field conditions.
