1. BIOLOGICAL PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCTS
COMET

Dosage: 3-5 ML/lt

Comet, contains extracts of large family of compounds produced by aerobic fermentation of consortium of microorganisms. The microbial consortium produces bioactive lipopeptides that helps maintain crop health and impart resistance to pests mainly sucking pests like thrips, mites, whitefly etc. Protects crops from environmental stress also rectifies deficiency symptoms and imparts quality and product yield. Different extraction and purification methods are employed as liquid–liquid extraction, and acid precipitation followed by solvent extraction and purification.

Mode of action: Comet acts instantly, works with its potential repellent action, the insect feeding gets impaired and also the compounds effectively choke the spiracles and disturb the respiration; the metabolites.

Comet has a distinct action on the pest reproduction, substantially reduce the fecundity of female insects so as to ensure longer control of pest. COMET has excellent translaminar property that ensures deep and quicker penetration in to plant tissues to eradicate eggs of insect pests for control of further development of pest populations

‘soil’ means the natural body covering the earth surface as a thin layer resulting from the transformation or decomposition of rocks and minerals, with organic matter mixed together to become a homogeneous substance. Soil is an important medium on which plants live for completing their life cycle, to produce flowers and fruits and multiply. Soil health therefore is very vital for the productivity of plants. Soil health depends on soil pH the scale of soil chemical nature from acidic to alkalinity.

A good soil is always neutral in pH and alkaline or acidic soils hinder the nutrient availability and survival of microflora which decide the healthy growth of soil.

Besides soil pH, availability of organic Carbon and air ventilation are also vital as they organic carbon improves soil texture and water retention capacity besides helping useful organisms including several microbes to grow and flourish

FLYBAN

The demand for pheromones in agriculture pest management is increasing globally, the surge is attributed to factors such as emphasis on biodegradability, toxin-free inputs for human safety, safety to ecosystem, long-term effect and wide spread area coverage among others. With ecological stability also becoming a matter of increasing concern along with increased agricultural yields and consumer demand for residue free agriculture, this method of pest management can anchor agro-ecological sustainability with higher crop yield.

FLYBAN: a proprietary Cue lure ofAgferm Innovations suitable against dipteran fruit flies

Insects make vital decisions in selection of food, oviposition sites through pre-constructed recognition templates which are innate or acquired through learning and experience.

A behaviour that is more often explored in development of pest control strategies in various insect is oviposition site-selection by insects.

Oviposition site selection in insects is assisted by a plethora of site-specific cues. This crucial behaviours become innate, are embedded into the genome, and passed on by the parents to offspring.

FLYBAN are cues that recognize both female and male.Towards certain stimuli when innate bias occurs, the insects respond to the critical stimulus, rather than the other environmental stimuli. The insect gets tricked by these cues even if they are outside their usual context.

USAGE OF FLYBAN LURE

Crops: Cucumber, Gherkin, Melons, Pumpkin, Bitter gourd, Coccinia (Little gourd), Snake gourd, Ridge gourd, Bottle gourd& other Cucurbitaceous crops like water melons, musk melons etc and some fruits (Mango, Guava, Sapota, Citrus, banana etc.)

12. Effectiveness/Longevity 40 – 60 Days 50 – 80 Days
13. Biodegradable No Yes – Since the Ovipositional cue which are natural available in the Host which are Biodegradable
14. Environmental Pollution Pheromones Synthesized Chemically Has Minimal Effects No Effects on Environment/ Ecosystem
