SUN BIO VETRI BIOINSECTICIDES

Verticilium lecanii (1 x 108 Cells / ml)

SUN BIO VETRI is a biological insecticide based on a selected strain of naturally-occurring entomopathogenic fungus Verticillium lecanii that infects and kills mealy bugs and sucking pests like thrips, jassids, aphids, white flies, mites, ants and spiders. It is used in cotton, vegetables, fruits, sugarcane, cereals, pulses and nurseries.

Benefits

  • Verticillium Lecanii manages the economically important sucking pests such as aphids, Jassids, whitefly, leaf hoppers and mealy bugs occurring on a wide range of crops.
  • Pest reduction leads to improved plant health and thereby increased crop productivity.
  • It can be used as an effective component in IPM programmes, thereby leading to a reduction in use of chemical pesticides and creating a safer environment.
  • It does not lead to residue problems and resistance or resurgence problems.
  • It is eco-friendly and it helps to maintain the ecological balance.
  • The toxic metabolic enzymes cause total paralysis of the infected insect pest.
  • SUN BIO VETRI is safe to natural parasites, pollinators and predators.

Mode of Action

This fungus produces abundant spores and mycelium. The spores which are slimy in nature get attached to the cuticle of insects. The spores germinate and produce hyphae and penetrate in the insect body. An enzyme produced by the fungus help it to penetrate into the insect body and proliferate within the insect. This heavy growth of the fungus makes the insect hard and mummified. In addition, the fungus also produces mycotoxin which kills the insect within 4 to 6 days.
