Leprotec® is a versatile, liquid formulation of the lepidopteran active Bt kurstaki strain EVB-113-19. It may be used in a wide range of crops including outdoor food, non-food and greenhouse crops for control of loopers, worms and other caterpillars. Leprotec is OMRI listed, giving growers the flexibility to use on conventional as well as organic acreage. Leprotec is also the ideal partner for use with Vestaron’s Spear®-Lep bioinsecticide. Btk disrupts the insect mid-gut and opens passage for the Spear peptide to reach target receptors in the nervous system. This leads to increased efficacy of Spear against the target insect.
