Biological pest control for protected crops.
Velifer biological insecticide provides growers with a non-chemical solution to manage a wide range of key pests in protected cropping structures. Velifer complements integrated pest management (IPM) systems and conventional chemistry, adding more versatility to spray programs. Velifer is effective against insect populations that have developed resistance to conventional insecticides and can be used frequently right up to harvest.
All vegetables and ornamentals in protective structures.
Derived from a beneficial fungus, Beauveria bassiana strain PPRI 5339, Velifer affects all of a pest’s life stages, including egg, larvae/nymph and adult. Once applied directly to the pest target, Velifer spores germinate on the insect’s cuticle before puncturing it, allowing moisture to escape and cause the insect to dehydrate. Inside the pest, the fungi proliferate and feed, leading to the insect’s death within 24-48 hours.
