Early NPV = Ongoing Control When you hear reports of Helicoverpa activity in the region, act early – plan to apply NPV. Killing small caterpillars early creates an amplifying infection cycle that provides control from flowering to harvest.

🦠 #FunFact: ViVUS is made up of naturally occurring nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPVs) that specifically target #Helicoverpa 🐛 Harmless to humans, pollinators, beneficial insects & the environment but lethal to host caterpillar pests. Putting nature & science to good work! #AgBiTech

🍓🫐 Summer berries are too valuable to share with caterpillars. Manage #Helicoverpa larvae with ViVUS Armigen. Safe to use during flowering with no harm to pollinators or pickers. Safe to re-enter the crop once dry. Protect #berries 👉 bit.ly/Armigen #AgBiTech

🌱 Give early worms the bird! Don’t leave #Sorghum vulnerable to #Helicoverpa 🐛ViVUS Max is a highly specific NPV ✅ Effective, sustainable & safe to apply during key crop stages. Go early at 10% primary tillers flowering to prevent loss later 👉 bit.ly/ViVUSMax

📏Size matters for caterpillar control. 🐛ViVUS works best on 1st–3rd instar #Helicoverpa larvae. Small larvae ingest more virus relative to body size, leading to faster & more effective control ✅ Timing is 🔑 Monitor crops closely & time applications right. #AgBiTech #ViableAg

Optimol is designed to increase the efficacy of ViVUS 📈 Adding Optimol to the tank mix improves coverage, protects the virus & enhances performance under tough conditions like heat or UV exposure ☀️ Help ViVUS go further 👉 bit.ly/Optimol #AgBiTech #ViableAg

🦠 How does ViVUS Max protect #sorghum? 🐛#Helicoverpa larvae ingest the virus when feeding. Inside the gut occlusion bodies release virus particles that multiply & spread. ✅ Effective, natural control with no known resistance Give early worms the bird 👉 bit.ly/ViVUSMax

⏰Optimal window to manage #Helicoverpa in #sorghum with ViVUS Max is when 10% of primary tillers are fully flowering. Act early to target 1-8mm larvae 🐛 If up to 13mm use the high rate! Act early for reduced pest pressure & higher yield potential 👉 bit.ly/ViVUSMax
