Product description

Description

BioCeres® WP is a certified organic insecticide using the strain ANT-O3 of Beauveria bassiana, an entomopathogenic fungus which is naturally present in the Canadian soil. This bio-insecticide sticks to insects’ cuticle (outer shell), causing infection that results in death. The repressive effect is generally noticed after 7 days and pests will not develop any resistance to the fungus.

Compatible with some insecticides, fungicides and with most biological control agents, BioCeres® WP is an effective and biological answer to tomato, cucumber, potato, cannabis, herbs and spices and greenhouse ornamentals’ issues with whiteflies, aphids & thrips. A powerful Beauveria bassiana biopesticide offering long-term protection against crop destruction – exclusively available for commercial agriculture consumers!

Application Instructions

Mixing Instructions

Weigh 2 to 4 g of BioCeres® WP per liter of water according to the desired volume;
Incorporate the powder in a waterproof (airtight) container and add 1 to 2 L of water;
Shake vigorously for 30-45 seconds until the solution is homogeneous;
Add the premix to your tank previously filled with the volume of lukewarm water necessary to properly cover the crop to be treated;
Use a volume of mixture sufficient to cover all of the foliage.

IMPORTANT

Never mix with hot water!
Never premix in a bucket or bucket with just a stick or a whisk.
This technique brings too much air into the water and does not mix well.
