Hearken® biological insecticide
- Biological Insecticide
Natural Control of Corn Earworm
Hearken® biological insecticide is a virus that targets Heliothine species, such as corn earmworm, tobacco budworm and the Old World bollworm. Used as a foliar application, Hearken is safe for beneficial and non-target organisms and complements traditional chemistries to easily fit within integrated pest management programs.
Benefits
Controls Heliothine Species Across Generations
Hearken® biological insecticide is a virus that infects larvae through ingestion. On death, larvae liquify and release millions of virus particles to infect other larvae.
Larvae with sub-lethal infections – typically larger larvae – transmit infection to their offspring hence reducing their biological fitness to continue the life cycle for the next insect generations.
Safe for Non-targeted Organisms
The virus that infects Heliothine species does not impact beneficial or non-target organisms, meaning you can apply with confidence.
Tank Mix Compatible
Designed to fit within integrated plant protection systems, Hearken is tank mix compatible with most common used insecticides, fungicides and liquid fertilizers.
