BioPower — Product Description

What it is

BioPower is a biological insecticide based on the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana.
It contains spores and mycelial fragments; available in both powder (WP, ~1.15%) and liquid (LF, ~1.50%) formulations.
The fungal strain is a selective, naturally-occurring strain (Stanes Bb-1) effective in controlling chewing pest complexes.

Mode of Action

Acts mainly by contact: spores land on insect cuticle, germinate, penetrate, colonize inside, proliferate and eventually kill the insect.
Effective across all life stages (egg, larva, pupa, adult) of many insect pests.
Because it is biological, it does not cause resistance or resurgence of pests.

What pests & crops it controls

Key pests: Borers, Cutworms, Root Grubs, Leafhoppers, Whiteflies, Aphids, Thrips, Mealybugs.
Example crops: Cotton (for bollworm), Tomato (for fruit borer) etc.
