Naturalis-L is a bioinsecticide containing a natural fungus (based on the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana-strain ATCC 74040) and can be used on all protected crops including edible and non-edible crops. Naturalis-L controls whitefly and thrips without leaving a chemical residue. Another benefit of Naturalis is that there is no harvest interval after application meaning that it can be used at any growth stage on vegetables, fruit and ornamentals. Pests will be seen dead (usually on the floor) 3-5 days after application.
Whitefly: glasshouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum), tobacco whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and honeysuckle whitefly (Aleyrodes lonicerae) can be treated at all growth stages by Naturalis-L.
Spider Mite: Activity has been shown against two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae), carmine mite (Tetranychus cinnabarinus) and tomato russet mite (Aculops lycopersici). Most effective on the nymph and egg stage than adult.
Thrips: Activity against thrips at all mobile stages. Better results are seen when treatment is started early.
Other pests: capsid (Lygocoris), aphids, caterpillar, leafhopper, shore fly, fruit flies and sciarid flies may be susceptible however control cannot be guaranteed.
