Having over three decades of hands-on gardening, I’ve encountered other pests as devastating across different crops than grape leafhoppers. Although these little bugs are hardly conspicuous, they drain the life out of grapevines, and growers despair over the yellowing foliage, decreased photosynthesis, and weakened fruit. Throughout my years as a farmer, I’ve used a range of solutions from chemical sprays and natural environmentally friendly solutions and manual interventions but nothing comes close to the efficiency and eco-friendliness of BEVERIA WP biological insecticides, especially the Beauveria bassiana insecticide products. As the choice of pest management strategy for AE healthy smallholders and…

The soybean industry has been facing the emerging problem of nematode pests, particularly soybean cyst nematodes (SCN) and this paper examines the shift towards organic management of SCN. Among the new generation products, Nema Pro containing the highly effective Bio control agent Purpureocillium lilacinum spores or locally known as Paecilomyces lilacinus has completely changed the way farmers combat this problematic pest. The Growing SCN Challenge But soybean cyst nematodes are still the single most result of soybean production, with yearly yield losses estimated to be greater than $1.5 billion only in USA. As the conventional chemical control methods prove to…

Regardless of precaution, they can cause a promising harvest to turn into a poor yield making many growers look for the root knot nematode treatment. Today, I am proud to present a case for a revolutionary biological treatment system with which farmers are now undertaking a major shift in the fight against nematodes. The Nematode Challenge Root-knot nematodes are rated among the most harmaly plant pathogens; they reduce the yield of plants and…
