The effectiveness of Agrobionsa’s products lies in that they are formulated with conidia of fungi strains with high virulence against the pest or phytopathogen to which they are directed. In addition, our products offer a high concentration of conidia in their formulations and the conidial derived from the technological conditions in which they are produced.

Our products can be mixed with agricultural soaps, repellents, and chemical insecticides, obtaining a synergistic effect. In the case of fungicides, it is advisable to check the compatibility chart of Agrobionsa’s products.

Biofungicide: TRICHO–SIN®

TRICHO–SIN® is formulated with conidia of a Trichoderma harzianum strain. This biofungicide is designed to act preventively by inhibiting the growth of phytopathogenic fungi from the soil or by attacking the foliage of the plant. On many occasions, TRICHO–SIN® can present mycoparasitism. This is to say, it can feed on phytopathogenic fungi. TRICHO–SIN® colonizes plant roots. In addition to protecting them, improves their nutrition by increasing the root zone and solubilizing minerals such as phosphorus and zinc. It also increases water-stress tolerance in plants.

To control the diseases that penetrate the root, TRICHO–SIN® must be applied to seed preparation, during transplant, and from the first irrigation. To control foliar diseases, TRICHO–SIN® is to be applied at the early detection of pest populations. The range of applications depends on the degree of crop infestation, environmental conditions, and reinfestation.

Apply 240 g – 480 g of TRICHO–SIN® per hectare in seed treatments, seed trays, drip irrigation equipment, and applications directed to the plant base and foliage. Prepare a premix, place it in the application equipment tank and complete the volume of the application mixture with water. Ensure pH iss between 5.5 and 7.0.

Premix preparation

In a container with 15 L of water with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0 and hardness less than 150 ppm, add TRICHO–SIN® and stir until obtaining a homogeneous mixture. If needed, use pH and/or hardness adjusters.

Mixture preparation

To make the mixture in the application equipment tank, add the dispersant, the acidifier, and water to half of the application volume. Then, stir the premix and empty it into the application equipment tank. Complete the volume of the application mixture with water. For good foliar coverage, utilize 100 L to 250 L of water/ha in terrestrial applications. In aerial applications, utilize 60 L to 80 L of water/ha.

Bionematicide: LILA–SIN®

LILA–SIN® is formulated with conidia of a Paecilomyces lilacinus strain, designed to act on nematodes’ eggs and females. In the eggs, it prevents the hatching and in the females, it affects their nervous system as well as their reproductive capacity. In addition, when LILA–SIN® fungus grows in the soil, it produces substances that affect phytopathogenic nematodes development.

To control the diseases that penetrate the root, LILA–SIN® must be applied to seed preparation, during transplant, and from the first irrigation. To control foliar diseases, LILA–SIN® is to be applied at the early detection of pest populations. The range of applications depends on the degree of crop infestation, environmental conditions, and reinfestation.

Natural and ecological insecticide: DIATA–SIN®

DIATA–SIN® is designed for ecological purposes so that when ingested by the insect plague, it injures its digestive system and causes its death without harming the environment. DIATA–SIN®, upon contact with the insect, it acts as a desiccant absorbing the insect’s cuticular lipids and eliminates moisture from its body, dehydrates it, removes its mobility, and causing its death.

DIATA – SIN® should be applied when detecting the first populations of the pest. The application intervals are based on degrees of infestation, environmental conditions and reinfestation of the pest.

Apply DIATA–SIN® by foliar aspersion in sufficient amount of water. For good foliar coverage, utilize 100 L to 250 L of water/ha in terrestrial applications. In aerial applications, utilize 60 L to 80 L of water/ha. In the application equipment tank, add half the volume of water with the dispersant. Pour DIATA–SIN® into the application equipment tank and stir to homogenize. Complete the volume of the application equipment tank with water. Prepare a premix, place it in the application equipment tank and complete the volume of the application mixture with water. Ensure pH between 5.5 and 7.0.

Bioinsecticides: META–SIN® WP, BEA–SIN® WP, PAE–SIN® WP, TRI–SIN® WP, META–SIN®, BEA–SIN®, PAE–SIN®, TRI–SIN® y VERTI–SIN®

Nuestros productos bioinsecticidas están formulados con conidios de cepas de hongos entomopatógenos, diseñados para que los conidios se adhieren al insecto, germinen y penetren la cutícula del insecto hasta llegar al hemocele, diseminándose por todo el interior del insecto, produciéndole la muerte.

Los síntomas de la enfermedad producida por nuestros productos en los insectos son: pérdida del apetito, desorientación, debilidad, decremento de la sensibilidad, pérdida progresiva de las funciones y muerte. El cadáver del insecto adquiere un aspecto momificado.

Our bioinsecticides should be applied at the early detection of pest populations. The range of applications will depend on the degree of crop infestation, environmental conditions, and reinfestation. If the temperature conditions are high, it is recommended to apply our bioinsecticides very early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

For good foliar coverage, utilize 100 L to 250 L of water/ha in terrestrial applications. In aerial applications, utilize 60 L to 80 L of water/ha. Ensure pH is between 5.5 and 7.0.
