BioCeres WP - CA version, 1lb - 6200-1-CA

OMRI Listed BioCeres WP is a Beauveria bassiana-based mycoinsecticide for control of soft-bodied insects in organic production. It works in several steps to neutralize pest insects: Upon application, the B. bassiana spores adhere to the target insect's outer shell (cuticle) and begin the infection process. At this point, you may notice insects with a whitish appearance. Once the spores have breached the protective barrier of the cuticle, they continue to multiply until they reach the insect's hemolyph (blood), which they begin feeding on. Death occurs 7 to 14 days after infection. BioCeres WP is also effective on insects during diapause.

Many years ago, BioCeres WP began as the brainchild of Siliva Todorova, at the time a Ph.D. student of Biology and Environmental Studies. She dreamed of creating a biopesticide derived from a Beauvaria bassiana strain native to Quebec. In time, the Beauvaria bassiana, strain ANT-03 was isolated from an infected plant bug (Lygus lineolaris) in Montreal and was proven to be the ideal choice for the main ingredient in what would become BioCeres WP. Research and development began in 2005 and the first batch was released in Canada in 2014. Two years later, BioSafe Systems introduced this innovative product to the American market.
