Biocontrol of Aphids in Eggplant Production with Mycotal (Lecanicillium muscarium)

Описание: Lawrence van den Bosch, director of Barver, an organic horticultural company, shares their experience with high aphid infestations in their eggplant production. The energy crisis delayed their planting schedule, leading to a significant increase in aphid reproduction. Their existing biological control methods were overwhelmed, and they considered removing their plants due to the pest pressure.

However, after applying the biofungicide Lecanicillium muscarium (Mycotal), they noticed a remarkable improvement within 14 days. The aphid infestations were brought under control, and the combined efforts of other beneficial insects and Mycotal helped save their crop and yields.

Barver's conditions, including soil-based planting and a humid climate, proved ideal for the biofungicide Lecanicillium muscarium to grow. Remarkably, they even observed the second generation of aphids beginning to sporulate.

Lawrence highly recommends using Mycotal (Lecanicillium muscarium) for effective aphid control.
