FUMOKAR

MODE OF ACTION

• The isaria fumosorosea insecticide infecting and killing target tobacco whitefly and asian citrus psyllids through direct spore contact.
• Under favorable environmental conditions, the fungal spores (blastospores or conidia) attach to the insect's cuticle, germinate, and penetrate the outer layer. Once contact silverleaf whitefly or citrus psyllids, the Isaria fungus proliferates by forming hyphal bodies, mechanically disrupting internal organs, and initiating tissue necrosis.
• This process secretes toxins and secondary metabolites, disrupts the insect's hemolymph,interferes with metabolism, and ultimately leads to feeding cessation, inactivity, and death within 7 to 10 days.
• Following the host's death, the entomopathogenic fungus emerges under humid conditions, releasing more spores to infect nearby insects, allowing for continued population suppression over time.

TECHNICAL

ACTIVE INGREDIENT

Isaria Fumosorosea strain 

FORMULATION TYPE

Wettable Powder Formulation

CONCENTRATION

Isaria Fumosorosea 2x10^9 cfu/g

PACKAGING

500 gram/ bag or  as per customers request

STORAGE

I. fumosorosea are living spores and may be damaged by storage at temperatures above 86°F  (30°C) or prolonged contact with water exceeding 24 hours.

Store in cool, dry place, keep away from direct sunshine and moisture. Cold storage at 4 °C can extend the shelf life and maintain best result.

Suggest to use it within 30 days after package opened.

BENEFIT

Benefit

• Eco-friendly pest control pesticide can be used in organic and conventional farming.
• Protecting non-target organisms (beneficial insects, pollinators, and soil microbes).
• Broad spectrum activity, effective biorational insect control.
• Sustainable and self-propagating minimizes the frequency of application.
• Unique infection mechanism, resistance prevention.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM) compatibility.
• Support overall soil health and crop productivity.

INSTRUCTION

Dosage & Method

Application & Dosage

• Apply 1-1.5 gram Fumokar water soluble insecticide per liter of water via foliar spray at the first signs of plant bugs presence in the crops.  If high insects pressure, Repeat the application 3 times with the interval of 7-10 days until silverleaf whitefly or citrus psyllids well controlled.
• Mix 1.5-2 gram Fumokar per liter of water via soil drench or irrigation.
• Add 0.5 -2 gm Fumokar into liter of water in recirculatory or a hydroponic liquid sytem.
• Apply 5-10 gm Fumokar into liter of water, incorporated into 1 yard of potting soil by spray application.

How to use Fumokar Isaria fumosorosea insecticide

• Before use, ensure all spray equipment is thoroughly clean. Dissolve the required amount of I. fumosorosea insecticide in a bucket containing a small amount of warm water (approximately 20°C) and stir for 1 hour to fully suspend and hydrate the spores. Avoid exposing the solution to direct sunlight or extreme heat. Allow the sediment to settle, then  pour the spore suspension (excluding the sediment) into the spray tank. Add the necessary amount of water to the tank and spray immediately after preparation. Keep the mixture agitated during application to ensure consistent coverage.
• For optimal results, apply biorational insect control  at the first signs of plant bugs larvae, nymphs, or eggs. Since fungal germination and growth occur over several days,applications should be initiated before pest pressure becomes severe.
• The ideal application conditions include relative humidity of 80% or higher for 8–10 hours, with low air movement and temperatures between 70–90°F. If humidity is below 50%,apply immediately after general watering or irrigation. Fumokar is effective within a pH range of 4.0–9.0.
• For proper coverage, apply 1000 liters per hectare on small or young crops and 2000–3000 liters per hectare on well-developed crops. As a contact insecticide, thorough coverage of the undersides of leaves is essential for effective natural insect control.
• It can be mixed with copper-based fungicides but should not be combined with other fungicides. Additionally, avoid applying isaria fumosorosea insecticide within five days of any fungicide applications other than copper-based products.
• For outdoor, non-greenhouse applications, avoid spraying while bees are actively foraging.
