Bio Pesticide Consortium

Product Details:

Bio Consortium is a unique blend of organic insecticides consisting of more than 10 types of beneficial microorganisms that help to prevent and control various pests and diseases. Bio Consortium is a biological insecticide based on a consortium of selected strains of beneficial naturally occurring microbes that protects crops from Borer attacks caused by several types of borers like stem borer and shoot borer. Bio Consortium is used as an effective foliar spray/ stem swabbing agent, to combat borers through the antagonism expressed by the microbial consortia towards borers.

MODE OF ACTION:

The fungus attaches to the external body surface of insects and larvae in the form of microscopic spores. Under the right conditions of temperature and humidity, these spores germinate, grow as hyphae and colonize the insect’s cuticle; eventually, they bore through it and reach the insect's body cavity. After some time the insect is killed. After death occurs, the fungus proceeds to grow off the host producing a white bloom effect. The insect is covered by a white to yellowish cottony/mealy mold layer. The conidia spores are then released into the environment and a new life cycle begins ensuring constant control of the target pests.
