ViVUS Armigen is a highly effective natural baculovirus-based biological control product specifically designed for horticulture.
Higher concentration than ViVUS Max, formulated for horticultural crops.
Used either as a classical insecticide to target economic populations of Helicoverpa, or applied when crops first become attractive to caterpillars, ViVUS introduces a baculovirus that specifically targets Helicoverpa.
The baculovirus multiplies and spreads through the Helicoverpa population. Under optimal conditions, ViVUS Armigen may continuously suppresses the pest without causing flare-ups in other insect populations, and provides substantial reductions in damage caused by sub-threshold numbers of Helicoverpa larvae.
The product contains the nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) of Helicoverpa armigera, from the Australian isolate and Helicoverpa zea (USA) to increase the speed of kill.
Reliable formulation, wide compatibility.
Improved field performance.
Better performance against the key Australian pests.
No impact on beneficial species.
Ideal for Integrated Pest Management.
Nil withholding period, re-entry when dry on crop.
Safe to the environment.
