Hearken® biological insecticide is a virus that targets Heliothine species, such as corn earmworm, tobacco budworm and the Old World bollworm. Used as a foliar application, Hearken is safe for beneficial and non-target organisms and complements traditional chemistries to easily fit within integrated pest management programs.
Hearken® biological insecticide is a virus that infects larvae through ingestion. On death, larvae liquify and release millions of virus particles to infect other larvae.
Larvae with sub-lethal infections – typically larger larvae – transmit infection to their offspring hence reducing their biological fitness to continue the life cycle for the next insect generations.
The virus that infects Heliothine species does not impact beneficial or non-target organisms, meaning you can apply with confidence.
Designed to fit within integrated plant protection systems, Hearken is tank mix compatible with most common used insecticides, fungicides and liquid fertilizers.
Hearken® biological insecticide can provide a new mode of action to control pests like corn earworm, tobacco budworm, and Old World bollworm. See how the solution works and how you can add it to your row crop protection program.
