Verticillium lecanii for Rose Farms

Verticillium lecanii can be incorporated into biological pest-management programs targeting susceptible soft-bodied and sucking insect pests.

It works as a microbial biocontrol fungus and is particularly relevant where commercial farms want to integrate biological products into their existing IPM programs.

Correct pest identification, application timing and coverage are important for successful microbial pest management.

Target Pest Programs

Verticillium lecanii is commonly considered in biological programs involving susceptible pests such as:

Aphids

Whiteflies

Thrips

Certain soft-bodied sucking pests

Effectiveness depends on the pest species, developmental stage, formulation, viable count, application coverage and environmental conditions.

Peak Laboratories Verticillium lecanii

Peak Laboratories manufactures Verticillium lecanii in liquid and powder formulations.

Relevant liquid specification:

Verticillium lecanii — 2 × 10⁸ CFU/ml

Relevant powder specification:

Verticillium lecanii — 2 × 10⁸ cells/gram

These formulations are available for professional agricultural and B2B applications.

Foliar Application

Verticillium lecanii is particularly suited to biological foliar programs because many target sucking pests occur on leaves and tender plant tissues.

For Peak Laboratories' relevant liquid formulation, foliar application is typically:

5–10 ml per litre of water

Maximum: 10 ml/litre

For the relevant powder formulation:

5 g per litre of water

Application should follow the specific product specification, local registration and crop-management requirements.

Root-Zone Application

Peak Laboratories' relevant liquid Verticillium formulation may also be incorporated into suitable drenching or drip programs at 2 litres per acre where the intended pest-management strategy and product registration allow.

The selected application method should match the location and biology of the target pest.

Verticillium for Greenhouse Roses

Greenhouse rose farms require frequent scouting because pest populations can develop rapidly under protected cultivation.

Verticillium lecanii can be integrated into IPM programs alongside monitoring, sanitation, compatible biological control agents and appropriate pesticide rotation.

Microbial products generally perform best when introduced early and applied with good coverage under suitable environmental conditions.

Verticillium + Beauveria + Metarhizium

Peak Laboratories manufactures three important entomopathogenic fungi:

Verticillium lecanii

Beauveria bassiana

Metarhizium anisopliae

Peak Laboratories also manufactures VIBIKING VBM, a microbial formulation containing Verticillium + Beauveria + Metarhizium.

The relevant VIBIKING liquid formulation contains:

Verticillium — 2 × 10⁸ CFU/ml

Beauveria — 2 × 10⁸ CFU/ml

Metarhizium — 2 × 10⁸ CFU/ml

Biological IPM Portfolio for Roses

Peak Laboratories manufactures microbial crop-protection products including Verticillium lecanii, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki, Trichoderma, Pseudomonas and Bacillus subtilis.

This provides commercial rose farms, cooperatives, importers and distributors with options for broader biological crop-protection programs.
