Biosar BT (Bacillus thuringiensis), a naturally occurring bacterium is an effective control agent in many crops. The insects that die eating Bacillus thuringiensis are not considered dangerous to birds or animals that may feed the dead insect.
Benefits:
• Not harmful to plants or the environment
• Only microbial insecticide widely used to control lepidopteron pests in agricultural crops.
Best time to spray is early morning or evening as it is highly susceptible to degradation by sunlight. They mostly adhere to foliage for less than a week after application, the period shotens with rain or overhead watering.
Recommended For: Cereals, Pulses, Vegetables, Fruit crops, Cole crops, Orchards, Fibre crops, Cut flowers Ornamentals in greenhouses; nurseries, lawns and landscape.
Dosage: Powder Form:
Foliar spray: 2.5 kg/hectare in 500 liters of water i.e., 5 gm/liter of water. The spray volume depends on the crop canopy.
Soil application: 2.5 kg/ Hectare
Liquid Form:
Foliar Spray : 2ml/ ltr of Biosar BT-L with 5ml/ ltr of Biosar Add on. The product should be sprayed on the growing plants using hand, ground or aerial spray equipment.
Soil application: Sprinkled around root – zone and incorporated into the soil either mechanically, watering of plants or drip irrigation systems.
The frequency of applications also depends on the pest and the crop. For greenhouse pest problems – apply once in every 15-20 days is recommended. It is compatible with all other bio products.
Biosar Troopepn (Heterorhabditis Indica), a heat tolerant nematode that works against many insect pests. When the temperature is between 25°C and 29°C, the nematode is used as a biological control agent to manage small hire beetle, fall army warm, fungus gnat, Indian meal moth, root weevil, white grub, etc.
When it is applied on the soil surface, Heterorhabditis Indica’s infective juveniles start searching for inscet hosts. Once insect larva is located, the nematode penetrates into the larval body cavity bia nayural openings such as mouth, anus and spiracles or host cuticles. Once inside, they release synbiotic bacteria (Photorabdus luminescens). In the blood, multiplying nematode bacterium complex causes septicaemia and kill their insect host usually within 24-48 hours of infection. Nematodes feed on multiplying bacteria, mature into adults, reproduce and then emerge as infective juveniles from the host cadaver to seek new larva in the soil and life cycle continues.
Benefits:
• Do not cause any harm to the personnel involved in their production and application.
• Do not harm humans, animals, beneficial insect, microbial communities and other beneficial nematodes.
• It works very effectively in combination with Beauveria bassiana, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Trichoderma Viride, the bio control agent. Pathogenicity influence of Herterorhabditis indica when exposed with the other bio pesticides on host larva, have proved to be more virulent and compatible.
Biosar Neem Oil is a natural botanical extract from neem seed kernel which is prepared using cold press technology. This technology helps this oil to retain all the well balanced values within itself. It is 100% pure and natural
Benefits:
• It is non toxic to spiders, btterflies and insects that pollinate plants
• Weekly use at normal concentration (0.5 – 2%) does not hurt honeybees and other beneficial insects
• Controls aphids, black spot, rust, spider mites, whiteflies, musquito, flies etc.
BIOSAR NPV is a biological insecticide based on an selective strain of nuclear polyhedrosis virus. When the spore of the fungus comes in contact with cuticle (skin) of the target pest/insect it germinate and grow directly through the cuticle in the inner body of the pest/insect.
It effectively controls pests such as borers, cutworms, root grubs, leaf hoppers, white fly, aphids, thrips, mealy bug, etc.
Recommended for: Rice, maize, tomato, cauliflower, potato, cabbage, tea, etc.
Biosar Pochonia (Pochonia Chlamydosporia), a nematophagous fungus is one of the most effective biological control agents against plant endoparasitic nematodes of the genera globodera, heterodera, meloidogyne, nacobbus and more recently rotylenchulus
Benefits:
• Colonize the rhizosphere of plants and cultivars
• Percentage of parasitism is high
• Effective against a high variety of nematodes
