Fawligen® is a nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV)-based biological insecticide designed to selectively control Fall armyworm (Spodoptera Frugiperda). Fawligen® should be used in Sweet Corn (maize) and Sorghum to control larvae resistant to chemical insecticides. Fawligen® is a Valuable Addition to your Sweet Corn and Sorghum Program.

Heligen® is a Novel And Highly Selective Group 31 Mode of Action Insecticide. Heligen® is a biological insecticide that controls Helicoverpa zea (cotton bollworm, corn earworm, soybean podworm, etc.) and Heliothis virescens (tobacco budworm) larvae  which are resistant to chemical insecticides.

ViVUS Max is a highly effective natural baculovirus-based biological control. Used either as a classical insecticide to target economic populations of Helicoverpa, or applied when crops first become attractive to caterpillars, ViVUS introduces a baculovirus that specifically targets Helicoverpa. Depending on the crop, ViVUS generally works best when used as part of a grower’s pest control regime. It reduces the overall costs of pest control by enhancing the natural defence mechanisms against Helicoverpa. The baculovirus multiplies and spreads through the Helicoverpa population—generally lasting for the duration of the crop. ViVUS continuously suppresses the pest without causing flare-ups in other insect populations, and provides substantial reductions in damage caused by sub-threshold numbers of Helicoverpa larvae. The product contains the nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) of Helicoverpa armigera.

Surtivo® is a mixture of nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPV)-based biological insecticide designed to selectively control corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea), tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens) and Soybean Loopers (Chrysodeixis includens). Surtivo® offers significant advantages over synthetic chemicals. Surtivo® is a valuable tool in the fight against Corn Earworm and Soybean Loopers.
