How to use
Velifer Biological Insecticide is best used on low pest populations to maintain pressure below economic damage threshold. Spray sufficient Velifer/water mixture, to obtain full crop coverage, but not to the point of run off. Velifer Biological Insecticide is a contact insecticide and it is essential that the spores make contact with all the insects, to be treated. Apply, as a full cover film spray, using conventional spray equipment. Good coverage is essential, but not to the point of run off. Due to UV sensitivity, it is recommended that Velifer is applied during the afternoon, or evenings.
