BotaniGard ES is a biological insecticide made from the fungal spores of Beauveria bassiana strain GHA (aka mycoinsecticide). Botanigard ES controls adult and immature stages of aphids, thrips, whiteflies and more.
BotaniGard ES contains the highest spore concentration in a Beauveria-containing insecticide. Use as a stand-alone, as a tank-mix partner or in rotation with other insecticides.
The applied spores infect directly through the outside of the insect’s cuticle. Spores adhering to the host will germinate and produce enzymes that attack and dissolve the cuticle. This allows BotaniGard ES to penetrate into and grow inside the insect’s body, causing the insect’s mortality.
