Bas - Eco (Bio - Insecticide)

Product Description

The qualitative range of Bas - Eco (Bio - Insecticide) offered by us has earned huge acclamations for controlling insects. This Entomopathogenic fungus relies upon Beauveria broningiarti for attacking insects, controlling bollworms in cotton, whiteflies in tomato, brinjal & cotton, root grubs in sugarcane and berry borer in coffee. As compared to other bacterial and viral pathogens, our range offers better control / infection over larval and pupal stages of insect pests.

Why Bas-Eco?

The range of Bas-Eco encompasses an environmental friendly bio agent that finds worldwide applications for controlling hard to kill insects. It features a unique mode of action that assures the killing of the even escaped and tolerant insects that is not possible with the application of insecticides.

How it acts?

When our product comes in contact with insects, it results in the germination and penetration of spores through the cuticle and ultimately the multiplication in the haemocoel. The product produces toxic metabolite called 'Beauvericin' that inhibits the metabolic enzymes, which paralyzes the insects and kills them thereafter. After the death, it gets transformed into mummy (hard and solid structure) due to saprophytic development and emission of large quantities of toxins by Bas-Eco funguses that secure the mummified insect from decaying. Within a period of 5-7 days the insect gets completely covered with white mycelium of Bas-Eco fungus. A highly humid environment enables the achievement of good efficacy in insects by Bas-Eco.
