    ChineseRecently, Canadian company Lallemand announced that it has registered its biopesticide - LALGUARD JAVA WP in Brazil, which is expected to be launched for sale
    in the first half of 2023.
     
    LALGUARD JAVA WP can be used on any crop
    infested with whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci race B).
    Toxicological classification is "Class 5 - Products unlikely to cause serious damage"
    .
    Regarding its classification of potential harm to the environment, LALGUARD Java WP is classified as "Class 4 – Hardly Harmful to the Environment"
    .
     
    Insect pathogenic fungi are one of the most important natural enemies of whiteflies and can directly enter the body of
    insects without ingestion.
     
    Whitefly populations increase significantly in all crops during droughts, causing serious losses
    to crops.
    Embrapa and Lallemand began their partnership seven years ago and set out to develop the use of the Javan cordyceps fungus to control whiteflies
    .
    The collaboration with Lallemand is very important to Embrapa, and the results of the research have been translated into a product
    that benefits farmers.
     
    THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LALGUARD JAVA PRODUCTS AND OTHER PRODUCTS IS THAT IT IS MORE RESISTANT TO HIGH TEMPERATURES AND LOW
    HUMIDITY.
    To ensure optimal product effectiveness, Lallemand researchers positioned the product through field trials in different regions and found that LALGUARD JAVA was more resistant to high temperatures
    .
    LALGUARD JAVA HAS ALSO BEEN SHOWN TO BE ACTIVE AT LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY, WHICH HAS BROUGHT VERY POSITIVE RESULTS IN TERMS OF APPLICATION SECURITY, ESPECIALLY UNDER SUCH ADVERSE CONDITIONS
    .
    The product is durable mainly because it effectively treats whiteflies at all stages
    , from nymphs to adults.
