18 POTATO GROWER | MAY 2018 BioSafe Systems • (860) 290-8890 • www.biosafesystems.com BioCeres WP Bioinsecticide BioCeres WP is an insect-pathogenic bioinsecticide that makes use of the Beauveria bassiana fungus. The OMRI-listed ANT-03 strain is approved for organic production and is perfectly suited in IPM programs, in a tank mix with other pesticides as well as in specific, stand-alone uses. It is a sustainable natural option for controlling adult insects in potato crops. BioCeres WP is used for the biological control of numerous pests including whiteflies, aphids and thrips. This insect-pathogenic bio- insecticide penetrates the insect's cuticle, infecting the host and causing death. Tank mix BioCeres WP with AzaGuard, BioSafe's 3 percent Azadirachtin-based insecticide, to gain control of early lifecycle stages. AzaGuard acts as an insect growth regulator to prevent molting between larval, pupal and nymphal stages, reducing infestations in potato crops.
