(Not known by any other names) |
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.

|
A naturally occuring fungal parasite used to control pests on a wide variety of food and ornamental crops |
|
Two-spotted spider mite; Whitefly; False Codling Moth; Cabbage moth (Plutella xylostella) larvae; Thrips; weevils |
|
Greenhouse-grown ornamentals; Tomatoes; Stone fruits; Berries; Fruiting vegetables; Curcubit vegetables; Leafy vegetables; Brassicas; Cannabis; Herbs and spices |
|
Trial results also show good efficacy against weevils, wire worm, thrips and other agricultural insect and mite pests. Best results seen at temperatures 25-30 DegC. |
|
Filamentous fungal spores. Life cycle consists of two phases. Firstly, the parasitic phases whereby the spores germinate on the cuticle and then penetrate the insect germinates, and colonise with the formation of blastospores. Secondly, during the saprophytic phase spores are disseminated into soil. |
