Varsha Bio Insecticide

Overview

Multiplex Varsha is a biological insecticide based on the beneficial fungus Verticillium lecanii. It provides effective control of various sucking pests while being safe for beneficial insects and the environment. Ideal for use at all crop stages, including pre-harvest.
