Features

Effective against Diamondback Moths, Cabbage Caterpillars, Cabbage Loopers, Armyworms, Beet Armyworms, Cotton Bollworms, Corn Earworms, Tomato Leafminers, Fruit Borers, Leafrollers, Webworms, and other lepidopteran larvae.
After ingestion by larvae, Btk crystal proteins act on the insect midgut, disrupting gut membranes, stopping feeding, and causing larval death.
Mainly suitable for cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, tomato, pepper, cucumber, melon, corn, cotton, soybean, peanut, rice, apple, grape, citrus, tea, tobacco, ornamentals, and forestry crops where locally registered
