Product details

BioCeres® WP is a contact microbial bioinsecticide, containing lives pores of a naturally occurring fungus in the soil. The spores adhere to insect cuticle (skin) and cause a fungal infection that leads to their death within 3-7 days. Under favorable environmental conditions, the fungus can produce outgrowth (mycosis) and release spores that can infect other insects.

BioCeres WP is a good fit in IPM programs and is best used in prevention or at first signs of targeted pest activity. It can be used as foliar spray or soil application.
