BIOSAR
Verticillium lecanii
Biosar is a unique formulation conatins dormant spores of Vertivillium lecanii with inert
carrier. It contains microbes which are useful for controlling various insect-pest found in the
field. Verticillium lecanii is an entomopathogenic fungus. The mycelium of this fungus
produces a cyclodepsipeptide toxin called bassianolide and other insecticidal toxins such as
dipicolinic acid, which infect Mealy bug, Aphids, Whiteflies, Mites, scale insects and lead to
death the host

Mode of Action:
The spores of this fungus when come in contact with the cuticle (skin) of target insects, they
germinate and grow directly through the cuticle to the inner body of their host. The fungus
proliferates throughout the insect’s body, draining the insect of nutrients, and eventually killing it
in around 48-72 hours.
Crop:
Ornamentals and vegetables in greenhouses; nurseries, lawns; landscape perimeters. Vegetable in
field crops, Grapes, Pomegranate, Custard apple, Cotton and other agricultural crops.
Insects control:
Whiteflies, Thrips, Aphids, Mites and Mealy bugs.
Application methods:
The product should be sprayed on foliage of plants using hand, ground, or aerial spray
equipment. It is advisable to provide a good coverage on the undersides of the leaves.
Frequency of application:
Applications should be repeated at least once in 15-20 days for four times. For greenhouse pest
problems, applications in every 10-15 days are recommended. All applications should be based
on monitoring of pest populations.
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.
Drip system: 5 gm / litre of water. The resultant solution should be filtered before injecting into
the drip system.
