Product Details

Composition:
VIGORSOL consists of four species of entomopathogenic fungi:
• Metarhizium anisopliae
• Beauveria bassiana
• Verticillium lecanii
• Paecilomyces fumoroseus
Concentration: CFU/gram 2×10⁸
Carrier: Calcium carbonate
Product Characteristics:
VIGORSOL is a combination of four fungal pathogens that naturally spread among a wide range of insects.
Once the fungal spores adhere to the target pest, they germinate and begin to grow, penetrating the insect’s cuticle and eggs.
The fungal hyphae rapidly develop inside the pest, causing its death. Other insects that come into contact with infected ones also become infected.
Mode of Action:
When fungal spores contact the insect’s egg or cuticle, they germinate and grow directly through the skin into the host’s internal body.
The fungi multiply throughout the insect’s body, draining its internal fluids and eventually killing it within 48–96 hours after application.
Verticillium lecanii also produces several insecticidal toxins such as cy-clodepsipeptide toxin (known as bassianolide) and dipicolinic acid, leading to growth inhibition and death of various insects.
Target Pests:
Weevils, plant hoppers, borers, Japanese beetle, bugs, thrips, aphids, scale insects, mealy bugs, whiteflies (including silverleaf whitefly), and a wide range of mites such as spotted spider mite, red mite, brown mite, two-spotted spider mite, and European red mite.
Target Crops:
All cereal, legume, vegetable, fruit, orchard, fiber, flower, ornamental, and turf crops, including greenhouse and nursery plants.
Application Methods:
• Foliar Spray: Can be applied using ground or aerial spraying equipment.
• Soil Application: Via drip irrigation or surface spraying followed by watering.
For drip irrigation, dilute VIGORSOL in a tank or barrel with water and stir well, then transfer the mixture into the irrigation tank for application.
Application Timing:
Apply at the first sign of pest infestation, ideally during the active period of the target insect for best results.
Dosage Rates:
• Foliar Spray: 500 g/feddan depending on canopy size and spray volume.
• Soil Application: 750–1250 g/feddan.
Repeat application as needed based on field pest population monitoring.
