Benefits

Controls Heliothine Species Across Generations

Heliothine Species lifecycle illustration

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

Grain sorghum

The virus that infects Heliothine species does not impact beneficial or non-target organisms, meaning you can apply with confidence.

Tank Mix Compatible
