BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC PRODUCT BROCHURE

BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC is a series of environmental friendly organic natural formula based on botanical extracts as active ingredient coupled with a proprietary blend of essential oils as carrier and synergist; for effective crop protection and growth enhancement.

BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC has high biological activities against a broad spectrum of crop insect pests including lepidoptera, hemiptera, coleoptera diptera and orthoptera and yet has extremely weak toxicity to mammals and natural enemies.

BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC is an insect control agent with multiple modes of activities such as repellency, antifeedant activities, insect growth regulation (IGR) effects and ovicidal activity; etc. for crop protection. Furthermore, its anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties protect crops against infections caused by viral, fungal and bacterial. In addition to pest and disease control, BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC also exhibits plant growth enhancement by means of improved photosynthesis and assimilate translocation.

Features

BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC formulations exhibit multiple modes of action which effectively interfere life cycle of insect pests. Almost all groups of insect pests are affected by the following modes of biological activities :

	REPELLENCY
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC treated leaf surfaces are less preferred by insect pests for feeding, colonization and production due to the behaviour altering feature.

	ANTIFEEDENT ACTIVITIY
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC stimulates deterrent neurons and inhibits attractant neurons of insect and thus suppress insect feeding. It also affects insect digestive system leading to alteration in feeding behaviour. Furthermore, it inhibits the secretion of insect digestive enzyme with disturbs digestion, absorption and metabolism.

	INSECT GROWTH REGULATION (IGR) EFFECTS
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC has IGR effect which is one of the strongest and predominant on immature insect pests. It disrupts molting hormone secretion and prohibits insect growth. Its IGR effects on immature stages cause growth irregularities resulting in the BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC NATURAL FORMULA – INSECT CONTROL AGENT FOR CROP PROTECTION & PLANT STIMULANT FOR HEALTHY GROWTH 2 / 4 prevention of larval growth, pupation and adult emergence. All insects groups are susceptible to the growth regulatory effects of BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC.

	REPRODUCTION SUPPRESSION
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC helps in a delay in oviposition and reduction in egg production thus impairing reproduction ability of insect pests.

	INSECT FITNESS DISRUPTION
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC exhibits complex effects involving antifeedant, digestion, growth or reproductive disruption and other physiological impacts makes insects weak, leading to natural mortality or predispose them to insecticides, biologicals and beneficials in an agroecosystem.

	OVIPOSITION DETERRENCE
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC treated plant surfaces are less preferred by insect pests for egg deposition.

	OVICIDAL ACTIVITY
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC impairs the development or hatchability of eggs upon contact. The degree of ovicidal activity varied among different groups of insects.

	SYSTEMIC EFFECTS
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC exhibits systemic activity when applied through soil, seedling root dip, seed treatment and tree injections. The most pronounced systemic effect is antifeedant and growth inhibition activity. Pests affected by systemic effects include caterpillars, bettles, whiteflies, leafminers, mites, aphids and thrips; etc.

	INSECTICIDE EFFECT ENHANCEMENT
	Insect pests exposed to BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC will exhibit a greater level of susceptibility when treated with insecticides subsequently. The exposure of insects with BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC will lead to physically and physiologically weak and growth regulated making insects lose their ability to resist the insecticide and thus enhance susceptibility. Combination of BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC enable other pesticides broaden the pest spectrum besides efficacy enhancement. It is a good strategy to use BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC with other pesticides in combination or alteration for pesticide effect enhancement.

	PEST RESISTANCE SUPPRESSION
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC is an ideal tool for preventing or delaying insect resistance due to the reduction of mixed function oxidase (MFO) levels in insects which contributes to the reduction of resistance possibilities among insect pests. The property of resistance possibilities reduction due to its interference with MFO synthesis will help to manage, prohibit or delay resistance in key pests.

	PREVENTION OF FUNGAL, VIRAL AND BACTERIAL INFECTION
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC has anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties which protect plants from infection. Its insect control properties will greatly reduce insect feeding thus reducing plant infections.

	IMPROVEMENT OF SOIL CONDITIONS
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC is effective against nematodes, fungi, virus and bacteria present in the soil and at the same time, more organic matters are being introduced thus improved soil conditions for better farming environment.

	ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECO-FRIENDLY
	A holistic approach to extremely safe and effective pest management.

	PLANT GROWTH STIMULANT / ENHANCEMENT
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC is known to enhance plant health and possibly yields. It will show enhancement in photosynthesis and positive assimilate translocation thus promoting plant health.

	HARMLESS / LOW IMPACT TO NATURAL ENEMIES
	BIOVECTROL™ 6k EC is practically harmless to honeybees, earthworms, predators and parasites under normal out-door application conditions.

	NON-PHYTOTOXIC
	No phytotoxicity is observed on most crops at recommended / practical dosages.
