Lepinox®Plus Bacillus Thurengiensis

Lepinox Plus is a biological insecticide for the control of caterpillars (larvae of Lepidopteran pests) on a range of fruit, vegetable, salad, herb and field crops. Lepinox Plus contains 37.5% Bacillus thuringiensis spp kurstaki with a potency of 32,000 I.U. T.ni/mg of formulated product.

Application Method:

Add half the required water to sprayer. Then add the required amount of Lepinox Plus before adding the remaining water whilst agitating the mix constantly to disperse the powder evenly. Apply to leaf surfaces where the caterpillars are actively feeding. Aim to have the leaves wet as possible without runoff. For best results, apply at a cool time when it is overcast (10-20°C). The bacteria is originally a soil dwelling organism so does not favour bright and dry conditions. Heavy rain soon after application will wash off the product before caterpillars have a chance to ingest it so do not apply if heavy rain is forecast.

Application Rates:

Up to 1kg/ha in 400-1500L water. 1g per L. Multiple applications may need to be made during the hatching period at 7-10 day intervals to a maximum of 3 treatments. Monitor crop closely to determine.

Crops:

Brassicas, apples, peas, courgette, french beans, globe artichokes, hops, pears, spinach, spinach beet and squash
