Mycotrol O (Quart)

This biological insecticide contains the fungus, Beauveria bassiana, which works to control aphids, armyworms, thrips, cutworms, leafhoppers, loopers, mites, whiteflies, psyllids, mealybugs, borers, beetles, weevils, grasshoppers and more. It works primarily through ingestion and contact action, therefore proper application is essential. Treat plants when pest populations are manageable and before extensive damage occurs. This should provide control through a cessation of feeding within hours of application but may take 7-10 days for the fungus to totally kill certain insects and before full effect occurs on the pest population. Works best in moist, humid conditions. Labeled for a wide variety of crops including vegetables, fruits, berries and nuts, vines, lawns and ornamentals. As with any broad spectrum pesticide, use sparingly to avoid harming beneficial insects. It is important to shake vigorously before using and continue to agitate during use. Use rate is from .25 to 1 qt per acre. For smaller scale use, a quart (in 100 gal of water) per acre is the equivalent of 1 tsp per gallon.
