Bio Hocostop Bio Insecticide
About Bio Hocostop Bio Insecticide
Bio Hocostop contains beneficial nematodes (EPN – Entomo Pathogenic Nematodes) that act as highly effective bio-control agents against the larval stage of white grubs. They control a broad range of soil-inhabiting insects and above-ground insects in their soil-inhabiting stage of life. Particularly effective against root grubs and termites in sugarcane, Hocostop ensures safe and eco-friendly pest management.
