Microbiome Insecta Soil
Complex of entomopathogenic fungi and their metabolic products to combat soil insect pests
Microbiome Insecta Soil is the carefully selected strains of entomopathogenic fungi Metharizium, Beauveria naturally occurring in fertile soil.
Microbiome Insecta Soil naturally reduces the occurrence of pests feeding on the roots of cultivated plants, such as larvae of turtles, wireworms, swellings, larvae of owl butterflies, potato beetles, spider mites and others.
As a result of the activity of microorganisms and their production of various substances (such as vitamins, organic acids, enzymes and others), the environment around the roots becomes unattractive for pests, which results in a significant reduction of their occurrence.
The spores of the fungus are capable of germinating through the chitinous cover of many varieties of insect pests, causing the mycelium of the fungus to grow inside their bodies and release toxins that lead to the death of the insect.
Spores, getting on the body of the pest, begin to germinate in 10-12 hours. The death of the pest occurs 40-120 hours after infection and depends on the stage of the pest, its mobility in the soil, temperature and humidity.

Application method & Dosage
In autumn after harvesting
✅ Imbedding into the soil for 5-10 cm ➞ 5.0 - 7.0 kg/ha
✅ Imbedding into the soil for 10-20 cm ➞ 7.0 - 10.0 kg/ha
In spring before sowing
✅ Imbedding into the soil for 5-10 cm ➞ 5.0 - 7,0 kg/ha
✅ Imbedding into the soil for 10-20 cm ➞ 7.0 - 10.0 kg/ha
✅ At first and the following watering (interval 20-30 days) ➞ 5.0 - 6.0 kg/ha
Preparation of working solution
✅ The water for the working solution is recommended to use non-chlorinated with a temperature of +10°C and above.
✅ The optimal pH of water is 6.5-7.5.
✅ When adding the preparation it should be stirred until complete dissolution.
Specifications of use
✅ The preparation is applied to the soil in autumn or in spring by any available method: in solution with irrigation water or by spraying the soil.
✅ It is recommended to prepare the working solution of the preparation on the day of treatment and use it within 6 hours.
✅ When planting seedlings or saplings, the preparation should be applied with irrigation water.
✅ in dry soil the effectiveness of the preparation is significantly reduced, therefore the effectiveness of the preparation is enhanced in the rainy season.
Compatibility of the preparation
✅ In tank mixtures, chemical components are applied first, biological components are added last.
✅ The preparation is compatible with insecticides, herbicides, bio preparations, fertilizers and chemical fungicides.
