Nutri-Life Myco-Force™

Naturally occurring, bio-balancing entomopathogenic fungal species to assist in the recovery of insect damaged plants.

Myco-Force™ is a talc-based formulation containing the entomopathogenic fungal species Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, and Verticillium lecanii. The inclusion of these three species together in one product is a world first and it has proven to be extremely effective.

Benefits:

  • Odourless and non-toxic to humans, animals and plants.
  • Applicable at all stages of crop production.
  • This product can be safely used right up to harvest.
  • Biodegradable and target-specific.
  • No withholding period.
  • BFA applied - organic certification pending.

Packaging:

  • 300g, 1kg, 5kg, 20kg

Typical Analysis:

  • 1 x 109 per gram of the species Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, and Verticillium lecanii.

Application Rates:

Foliar:

  • Apply at 1kg per hectare. Mix 1kg in 2 litres of water and prepare a slurry. Then add to sufficient water to ensure good coverage of both sides of the leaf, ie. 300 to 400 litres per hectare for small crops, or up to 700 to 1000 litres per hectare for established orchards. Repeat in 15-20 days if required.

Soil:

  • Apply at 1kg per hectare. Ensure the product is washed down into the root zone.

Information:

  • If this product is not used immediately after opening, it will have a remaining three-month shelf life if refrigerated. Unopened containers have a minimum 12-24 months shelf-life from date of manufacture.
  • Contains live organisms - do not apply in conjunction with toxic chemicals (particularly fungicides). Allow three to four days before applying.
  • Spray in the evening to provide humid conditions directly after application.
  • Do not foliar spray with oil based wetter-stickers.
  • Spray tanks must be chemical free. To clean equipment, dissolve urea at 1% (1kg per 100 litres of water). Fill tank and spray hoses and let sit overnight. Empty then rinse.
  • Do not use near silkworm or honey-bee breeding zones.
  • All living microbes should be added to a liquid mix last, ie. after all other products are diluted.
  • It is very important to realise that high pressure rates with spray equipment can damage or destroy beneficial microorganisms. Try not to exceed pressures of 60psi..
