Effective, residue-free management of African Bollworm.
Bolldex is an SC formulation of the nucleopolyhedrovirus (Hear NPV) for the control of Helicoverpa amigera larvae. Bolldex is designed for effective biological reduction of African Bollworm populations and is ideal for use in IPM and Resistance management programs. A suspension concentrate of a Nucleopolyhedrovirus (Hear NPV) for the control of African Bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) on all crops. A highly effective population management tool
 
NPV (nucleopolyhedrovirus) is a viral disease of caterpillars that occurs naturally in Australia.
As a pesticide, NPV is highly specific, safe and environmentally friendly (does not harm humans, wildlife or other insects), making it ideally suited to include in an integrated pest management approach.

Benefits
Ingestion of even one virus particle ensures mortality. There is no sub-lethal dose. This makes Bolldex® a highly effective population and resistance management tool and ideal for IPM programs.
Many opportunities exist for the target pest to ingest virus particles, starting when the eggs hatch. This improves population reduction and damage control to the crop.
Bolldex® can be applied at low volume application rates.
This allows for effective pest management right up to harvest and gives you residue options for other management needs.
As the Bolldex® virus is highly specific it will not harm beneficial insect populations. Bolldex® can be applied without risk to bee populations and secondary pest outbreaks.
Bolldex® is user friendly and easily incorporated into chemical programs as long as pH of the spray tank is managed.
Non-toxic, no MRL, completely natural, safe for applicators.
