| | Product focus: Naturalis-L | |
| | Naturalis-L is a bioinsecticide based on the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (strain ATCC 74040). Naturalis-L infects a very wide range of economically damaging pests such as whitefly, mites, thrips, capsids and some groups of flies. In addition, the vegetable oil dispersion (OD) formulation means that Naturalis-L has a long shelf-life, is easy to use and gives excellent efficacy in real-world conditions. | |
| | The mode of action of Naturalis-L makes it a perfect tool for the control of pests and mites on vegetables, fruit crops and ornamentals.
| |
| | Naturalis-L can be successfully used in both organic production and integrated pest management programmes, to reduce residue levels and the use of traditional chemical sprays. Naturalis-L does not leave any chemical residues and there is no harvest interval, so it can be applied through the entire life of the crop.
| |
| |  | | | Naturalis-L is compatible with beneficial insects and it is non-toxic to bees and pollinators when used as per the technical guidelines. |
