THROUGH THE Cultivator's LENS Hands-On Evaluation

  • You are integrating biological controls into your IPM program because your previous broad-spectrum solutions kept disrupting the beneficial insects needed for your crop health.
  • You are switching to a targeted lepidoptera control because your current approach leaves too much residue on harvest material and you need to meet strict quality standards.

  • The formulation is MRL exempt, which gives us peace of mind when we tell growers they can harvest shortly after application.
  • It hits target pests without the secondary population spikes we often see after using harsh, broad-spectrum chemicals.

  • Users who rotate this into their spray schedule report that they stopped seeing late-stage crop damage from loopers entirely.
  • Growers who struggled with strict residue testing say they passed inspection easily after replacing their old pesticide routine.

BioSafe Systems BT Now - 2.5 Gallons

Caterpillar pests like armyworms, loopers, and hornworms can strip a crop's foliage before growers even catch the infestation. BioSafe BT Now stops that damage fast, using a novel strain of Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. kurstaki (Btk) that paralyzes the target insect's digestive system within hours of ingestion, halting feeding and further crop damage almost immediately.

Once BT Now's Btk bacteria is consumed by target lepidoptera larvae, its natural cry toxins bind to specific gut receptors, disrupting digestive function and stopping feeding within hours. The affected larvae die within 2-5 days as the toxins compromise midgut membrane integrity and the bacteria proliferate inside the pest. With a four-hour REI, zero-day PHI, and MRL-exempt low residue profile, BT Now fits seamlessly into IPM programs, works alongside beneficial insects and pollinators, and tank-mixes with many common pesticides, fertilizers, and adjuvants.
