Nofly - Biological Insecticide
NOFLY is a biological insecticide based on spores of the entomopathogenic fungus Paecilomyces fumosoroseus (previously Isaria fumosorosea, Cordyceps fumosorosea) for the control of whiteflies thrips and also other pests
NOFLY is a very effective biological insecticide active against all life cycle stages of different species of whiteflies (Bemisia, Trialeurodes, Lecanoideus, Aleuroidicus). Moreover, NOFLY has insecticidal action against aphids, thrips, some caterpillars, and also other insects that often cause significant economic losses to farmers.
- Field of activity: Control of whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci, Trialeurodes vaporariorum, Bemisia argentifolii, Lecanoideus floccissimus) in all stages (eggs, larvae and adults).
- Recommended use: Good growth in a temperature range between 8 and 30 °C, with optimum growth between 20 and 30 °C. The highest development of the fungus has been observed at 25 °C, with high relative humidity and low intensity of solar radiation. It is therefore recommended to apply in the early morning or late afternoon. Do not apply at temperatures above 30 °C.
- Visible effects on the pest before death: for example clear loss of coordination and loss of movement, while stop feeding and color change to red/pink
- Monitoring and comparing with initial population: Yellow sticky traps, visual perception of the pest level, weekly counts
