AgBiTech ViVUS Max - Advanced Helicoverpa Biocontrol

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.
