Description

OMRI Listed BioCeres WP is a Beauveria bassiana-based mycoinsecticide for control of soft-bodied insects in organic production. It works in several steps to neutralize pest insects. Upon application, the B. bassiana spores adhere to the target insect’s outer shell (cuticle) and begin the infection process. At this point, you may notice insects with a whitish appearance. Once the spores have breached the protective barrier of the cuticle, they continue to multiply until they reach the insect’s hemolyph (blood), which they begin feeding on. Death occurs 7 to 14 days after infection. BioCeres WP is also effective on insects during diapause. Labelled for a wide variety of crops, both edibles and ornamentals. 4-hour REI, 0-hour PHI. Not available for sale to CA residents.
