DELFIN® - fast-acting biological caterpillar control
Stops caterpillar feeding fast
- Biopesticide – natural product containing bacterial preparation based on Bacillus thuringiensis spp. kurstaki, strain SA-11
- Specifically controls leaf-eating caterpillars – of butterflies and moths on various crops
- Fast-acting – rapid effect
- Good control - proven efficacy
- Excellent crop coverage - due to fine particles
- Apply early – at start of cultivation, during introduction of other beneficials.
- Pest resistance unlikely - relies on several toxins reducing sensitivity to resistance development
How does DELFIN® work?
- Caterpillars eat leaves treated with DELFIN®
- Protein crystals are broken down into toxins that bind to, and break down, the intestinal wall
- Feeding stops and caterpillars die a few days later
- Young caterpillars are more sensitive
