Are you finding ugly holes in your tomatoes? Are your precious fruits being destroyed from the inside by hungry worms? Your tomato crop is likely under attack by Tomato Fruit Borer (Helicoverpa armigera), one of the most destructive pests that can cause up to 70% yield loss if left uncontrolled.
These pests bore into tomatoes, making them unmarketable and destroying your hard work. While chemical pesticides often fail to reach the hidden larvae inside fruits, there's a safer, more effective solution: BT Kurstaki Powder.
Why Chemical Pesticides Fail Against Tomato Fruit Borer
-
Hidden Larvae: Chemicals can't reach borers inside fruits
-
Pesticide Resistance: Borers develop resistance quickly
-
Harmful Residues: Chemicals leave toxins on your harvest
-
Ecosystem Damage: Kill beneficial insects and pollinators
The Smart Solution: BT Kurstaki Powder
BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) Kurstaki is a naturally occurring, soil-dwelling bacterium that specifically targets and eliminates caterpillar pests like tomato fruit borer while being completely safe for humans, animals, and beneficial insects.
How Our BT Kurstaki Powder Works:
-
