Borers in Action: Borers bore a hole in either the shoot or stem. Excreta is observed coming out of the hole / tunnel. Application of conventional pesticides / bio pesticides is not effective as it cannot enter this hole.
Excreta decomposition: Composting microbes have an affinity for soft biomass like excreta coming out of hole bored by Shoot / Stem Borer. They start decomposing this excreta and act as a scout/ carrier for the insecticidal microbes.
Pathogenising Borers: The entomopathogenic microbes of BorerGuard piggy back on the composting culture microbes as the scouts of the composting culture, microbes keep going inside the hole, the entomopathogenic microbes of BorerGuard go inside and attack borers, pathogenise and kill them.
Benefits:
BorerGuard effectively controls economically important borers of vegetables, cerelas and plantation crops
Pathogenic pest load reduction leads to improved plant health and thereby increased crop productivity.
BorerGuard can be used as an effective component in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes, thereby leading to a reduction in use of chemical pesticides and creating a safer environment.
