Certis BotaniGard 22WP 1Lb (12/CS)

Protecting crops from damaging pests requires an effective, eco-friendly solution, and Certis BotaniGard 22WP delivers exceptional results. This advanced wettable powder mycoinsecticide uses the naturally occurring fungus Beauveria bassiana to target and eliminate a wide range of pests. 

By using the power of biological control, BotaniGard 22WP provides an environmentally sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides while maintaining superior effectiveness.

How BotaniGard 22WP Works

The active ingredient in BotaniGard 22WP, Beauveria bassiana spores, initiates its action immediately upon contact with the pest. These spores adhere to the insect’s outer surface (cuticle), germinate, and penetrate the exoskeleton, delivering a potent biological attack. 

Once inside, the fungus produces specialized enzymes that dissolve the insect’s internal structure, leading to the pest’s destruction.

Timeline of Effectiveness

• 16-24 Hours Post-Application: The spores infiltrate the targeted pests, beginning the infection process.
• 4-5 Days Post-Application: The pest is completely eliminated, ensuring long-term crop protection.

This delayed yet effective action minimizes the need for repeated applications and reduces pest populations significantly.

Wide Spectrum of Pest Control

BotaniGard 22WP is specifically formulated to combat a broad range of soft-bodied and hard-bodied pests, including but not limited to:

• Aphids
• Whiteflies
• Thrips
• Mites
• Leafhoppers
• Psyllids

By targeting these pests, the product protects crops from damage that can severely impact yield and quality.
