Andermatt Eco-Bb® – Biological Inoculant for Pest Suppression
Eco-Bb® is a fungal inoculant containing spores of Beauveria bassiana strain R444, a naturally occurring entomopathogenic fungus. When applied, the spores colonise target pests, disrupting their life cycle through microbial action. This biological approach offers sustainable pest suppression while maintaining ecosystem balance.
The product's wettable powder formulation ensures optimal spore viability and field persistence. Its unique composition enhances adhesion to plant surfaces while remaining safe for pollinators and beneficial insects. Regular applications provide cumulative suppression of pest populations without chemical residues.
Key Features:
• Broad host range: Effective against whitefly, red spider mite, Tuta absoluta, and false codling moth.

Do you know the nutrient content of your soil?
Ensuring your soil is a healthy and productive medium for your crops is among the most important things you can do as a farmer. Without the correct levels of nutrients, crops won’t achieve their maximum yield potential. Understanding your soil nutrients is a critical first step before purchasing fertilisers or other inputs (that you may not need!)
