Product Overview

Verticillium lecanii biocontrol tailored for greenhouse and field crops

Seira is engineered for distributors requiring consistent Verticillium lecanii performance on whiteflies, aphids, and soft-scale insects. Fermentation and formulation are optimised to maintain 1 × 109 CFU counts and ensure rapid spore germination even under fluctuating humidity. Both OD and WP options provide stable suspensions, compatibility with soft chemistries, and export-ready documentation that accelerates regulatory clearances.
