Mode of action
BT-Turbo Max® works in the biological control of caterpillars that damage crops. When the larvae ingest leaves sprayed with the product, the pests consume the crystals produced by Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD-1. The toxins (crystals) bind to the cells of the insect’s intestine, interrupting feeding and initiating a destructive reaction that causes cell rupture, tissue damage, and ultimately death by septicemia.
Application
Ground application:
Application should be carried out using a backpack sprayer, tractor-mounted boom sprayer or airblast sprayer, calibrated to operate with constant pressure and spray volume. Equipment must be fitted with nozzles that minimize drift and promote uniform coverage, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Aerial application:
For foliar applications, use an agricultural aircraft equipped with spray nozzles or rotary atomizers that ensure uniform coverage, following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Apply a spray volume of 30 to 40 L/ha. For this application method, the use of the adjuvant Naft® is recommended at a rate of 50 to 100 mL/ha.
Drone application:
For foliar applications, use agricultural spraying drones equipped with spray nozzles or rotary atomizers that ensure uniform coverage, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Apply a minimum spray volume of 10 L/ha. For this application method, the use of the adjuvant Naft® is recommended at a rate of 50 to 100 mL/ha.
Follow the application technology recommendations provided by the responsible agronomist.
