About Bio Hocostop Bio Insecticide

• Bio Hocostop contains beneficial nematodes (EPN – Entomo Pathogenic Nematodes) widely accepted as bio control agents of the larval stage of white grubs.
• They can be used to control a broad range of soil-inhabiting insects and above-ground insects in their soil-inhabiting stage of life.
• Root grubs and termites which are major pests in sugarcane can be managed by using HOCOSTOP effectively.

Bio Hocostop Technical Details

• Technical Content: Infective Juveniles (IJ) of Heterorhabditis indica @ 5.1 X 104 per gram in 1 % WP formulation.
