BotaniGard ES Mycoinsecticide for Reliable Biological Pest Control
BotaniGard ES contains a high concentration of Beauveria bassiana spores that penetrate pests and eliminate them within 7–10 days, even where resistance is a challenge. Its convenient emulsifiable suspension works as a stand-alone, in a tank mix, or as part of an IPM rotation for greenhouses, nurseries, and field production. Growers use it against whiteflies, aphids, thrips, psyllids, mealybugs, leafhoppers/planthoppers, plant bugs, weevils, mites (Acari), and foliage- or stem-boring Lepidoptera. With a 0-hour PHI and 4-hour REI, it supports frequent, timely applications without slowing your workflow.
How Beauveria Bassiana Helps Growers Succeed
This beneficial fungus infects directly through the cuticle, producing enzymes that break it down for dependable control. The high spore load, lack of documented resistance, and compatibility with IPM strategies make BotaniGard ES a powerful rotational partner for managing soft-bodied and difficult pests.
