Benefits:

• Potent Lepidopteran Control: Specifically targets and kills caterpillars (larvae of moths and butterflies) that are major pests of vegetables, fruits, and field crops.
• Crystal Protein Toxin: Upon ingestion, the Bt toxin disrupts the insect's gut lining, causing rapid cessation of feeding and death within 48-72 hours.
• Safe for Beneficials: Highly selective; does not harm bees, ladybugs, parasitic wasps, earthworms, or other non-target beneficial insects and organisms.
• No Pest Resistance: Can be effectively rotated in IPM programs to delay or prevent pesticide resistance.
• Zero Residue & Safe: Completely biodegradable, leaves no harmful chemical residues, and has a short pre-harvest interval (PHI), making it ideal for organic farming and export-quality produce.

Spray Dosage:

• Foliar Spray (Standard): Mix 0.5 - 1.0 gram of WP/WS per liter of water.
• Dosage per Acre: Use 200 - 500 grams of product per acre in 150-200 liters of water, depending on pest pressure and crop canopy.
• Application Timing: Spray in the late afternoon or early evening. Thoroughly coat foliage, especially the undersides of leaves where larvae feed.

Soil Application Dosage:

For soil-dwelling caterpillars (e.g., cutworms), a drench can be prepared using 2-3 grams per liter and applied to the base of plants.

Note:

• Critical: Must be ingested by the larval pest to be effective. Good spray coverage is essential.
• Compatibility: Do not mix with alkaline pesticides or strong fungicides. Can be used with most bio-pesticides.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Best Results: Apply when larvae are young (early instars) for maximum control. Reapply after 7-10 days or after heavy rain.
