BotaniGard Maxx is a uniquely formulated biological insecticide, combining the rapid knockdown power of Pyrethrins with the residual fungal control of Beauveria bassiana Strain GHA. This dual-action insecticide is highly effective against a wide range of harmful pests, including whiteflies, aphids, thrips, psyllids, spider mites, and more. Its powerful combination of botanical and microbial ingredients ensures both immediate insect immobilization and long-term pest suppression, making it a valuable tool in any Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.
Upon application, the Pyrethrins in BotaniGard Maxx disrupt the nervous systems of target pests, leading to quick knockdown. Meanwhile, Beauveria bassiana spores attach to the insects' cuticles, germinate, and penetrate their bodies, ultimately leading to death. This combination not only kills pests on contact but also provides residual fungal action that continues to protect crops even after application.
BotaniGard Maxx can be used as a stand-alone product, in a tank mix, or as part of a rotation in an IPM program. It is suitable for use on a variety of crops, including vegetables, ornamentals, and agronomic crops. It is also effective in indoor and outdoor nurseries, greenhouses, commercial landscapes, and turf.
