Product benefits:
- Able to control various insect by causing mycosis
- Saprophytic growth lead to serve on dead organic matter so even in absent of host, inoculums get increase in field so more chances for mycosis as insect attack start
- it help to increases the crop yield by reducing damage cause by insect
- help to increases natural soil biomass so by these help to improve soil health
- improve plant vigor, plant health etc.
- help to maintain natural ecosystem in field
- compatible with most of insecticide, so combine use with insecticide give synergistic result

Spray Application:
Dilute 5gm or 5 ml of Biosar in 1ltr of water with 5ml milk. Stir well to form uniform solution and spray thoroughly with a sprayer. Effective coverage of whole plant will more benefit.
