BioArsenal

A Biological Shield for Intensive Agriculture

The American biological product "BioArsenal," developed by MycoGold, is a next-generation entomopathogenic agent based on the Beauveria bassiana fungus. Unlike harsh synthetic chemicals, this product acts as a targeted biological agent, infiltrating the pest’s life cycle. The ATCC 74040 and GHA strains included in the formula are a gold standard for controlling a wide spectrum of insects, ranging from Colorado potato beetles to spider mites.

How it works in the field

The efficacy of "BioArsenal" is based on contact infection. When fungal spores land on the insect’s cuticle, they germinate and utilize the pest's biological resources for their own development. The pest eventually perishes, while the fungal colony continues to spread through the population, creating a long-term protective effect. This makes the product indispensable for farms transitioning to environmentally sustainable crop protection methods.

Typical Applications

The product demonstrates high effectiveness in protecting key agricultural crops:

• Cereals: reliable protection for winter wheat and barley against a complex of hidden pests.
• Technical crops: highly effective on soybean, sunflower, and corn fields during peak insect activity periods.
• Vegetable farming: a safe and effective solution against whitefly, thrips, and aphids on vegetable crops.

With a Hazard Class 4 rating, "BioArsenal" minimizes risks to beneficial entomofauna, allowing for applications near residential areas and water bodies. Tavria Imperial Agro LTD acts as the applicant in Ukraine, ensuring strict compliance with storage and supply protocols. Integrating this biological product into crop protection systems significantly reduces the number of insecticide applications and helps combat pest resistance to synthetic pesticides.
