Key Product Nutrients

Our BioControl cocktail includes:
  • Entomopathogenic Fungi
  • Beauveria Bassiana
  • Serratia Entomophilia
  • Paenibacillus Papillae
  • Bacillus Thuringiensis
  • Biocidal Fungi (IP)

Healthy nematodes are added to create another level of protection, including Heterorhabditis Bacteriophorea and Steinernema Carpocapse.  

As the soil and plant health increases over time, sustainable on-going control is maintained without the need for annual chemical use, because the pests stop showing up.

Application Guide: 

Guide only, depends on severity of problem

2 x application in first year to eradicate pests and restore soil & plant health (spring & autumn)  

1 x application subsequent year (if needed) while on-going control is established (spring)  

1 x application- periodically (as required) to maintain healthy soil and plant environment.  

Note: BioPest is specifically designed for pest control. However, where strong pasture or crop growth is required, we can add nutrients (macro & micro) and biological stimulants to this product to provide a high performing biological fertiliser.
