Beauveria bassiana | ABNBb 101
This bioinsecticide is formulated with conidia of a strain of entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana; biotechnologically developed to infect whiteflies’ (Bemisia spp) eggs, nymphs, and adults to its death. BEA–SIN® strain is selected because it differentiates in its ability to control other pests.
Details
Concentration: 5.0 X 10⁹ Conidia/mL equals a 1.2 x 10¹² Beauveria bassiana conidium in 1 L
Presentation: Liquid suspension 1 L
Plagues: Whitefly (Bemisia spp.)
Crops: Chili peppers, bell peppers, tomatoes, tomatillos, potatoes, and eggplants
Characteristics
BEA–SIN® is formulated with conidia of a strain of entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana. This product is designed so that the conidia of Beauveria bassiana adheres, germinates and penetrates the insects’ cuticle until reaching the hemocoel, spreading throughout their interior, causing their death.
The symptoms produced by BEA–SIN® in insects are: color change and desiccation, leading to a mummified appearance.
Benefits
- Controls insect pests
- High degree of specificity
- Can be used at all stages of plant development
- Allows harvesting after application (Zero-hour re-entry interval)
- It strengthens the development of healthier plants, and improves crop quality and crop yield
- Does not harm the ecosystem because its active ingredient is a microorganism found in nature. It is innocuous and has no toxic residues
- Synergistic in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices. It is compatible with agricultural products. Please refer to the Agrobionsa’s products compatibility table for detailed information
- Prevents secondary pest development
- Suitable for resistance management. It does not generate resistance in the pathogens they attack

Moment of application
BEA–SIN® should be applied at the early detection of pest populations. The range of applications depends on the degree of crop infestation, environmental conditions, and reinfestation.
If the temperature conditions are high, it is recommended to apply BEA–SIN® very early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
Application mode
Prepare a premix, place it in the application equipment tank and add water until the volume of the application mixture is reached. Ensure pH is between 5.5 and 7.0.
Preparation of the premix
In a container with 15 L of water with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0 and hardness less than 150 ppm, add BEA–SIN® and stir until obtaining a homogeneous mixture. If needed, use pH and/or hardness adjusters
Preparation of the mixture for the application
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 and add water until the volume of the application mixture is reached.
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.
