application methods
The pesticide application method you choose depends on the nature and habits of the target pest, the properties of the pesticide, the suitability of the application equipment, and the cost and efficiency of alternative methods. Your choice is often predetermined by one or more of these factors. Follow label direction for volume recommendations and application rates based on the pest to be controlled and utilize appropriate application tips on equipment.
What is Bacillus Popilliae?
As a pesticide active ingredient, the spores of this bacterium Spores of Bacillus popilliae infect larvae (grubs) of Japanese beetles, eventually killing the larvae and preventing their development into adult beetles.
How does Bacillus Popilliae work? (Mode of Action)
When the spores are ingested by Japanese beetle larvae (grubs) as they feed in the ground, the spores become active bacteria and multiply in the grubs, which continue to live. However, the large numbers of bacteria prevent larval maturation. When the larvae's bacterial population reaches a high enough density, bacterial spores are released to the soil to await ingestion by future beetle larvae. The infected beetle larvae die when the spores are released. Once the bacteria and spores become established in a geographic area, they greatly decrease the numbers of grubs and adult Japanese beetles, thereby reducing plant damage.
Keep out of reach of children.
