    Recently, Simbiose Agro announced the launch of BeauveControl, a microbial insecticide and acaricide to combat whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci)
    .
    The product is based on the pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, which was developed in collaboration with national research institutes
    .
    ? According to the manufacturer's introduction, this product is currently the highest concentration product on the market.
    Compared with other B.
    bassiana-based microbial insecticides, the effect is significant
    .
    Dr.
    Artur Soares, director of research at Simbiose, said that farmers are still using synthetic insecticides to control whiteflies, which need to be applied multiple times within a year
    .
    However, this method leads to high selection pressure and accelerates the emergence of resistant whiteflies
    .
    "BeauveControl is a biological and highly effective product, which will become a viable alternative for whitefly control and benefit agricultural production and the environment
    .
    " Dr.
    Artur Soares explained
    .
    ? Whiteflies are about 1 mm in size, have high dispersion and reproduction ability in crops, and can significantly reduce the photosynthesis of plants
    .
    A 2013 survey by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) indicated that the whitefly epidemic caused at least 1 billion Yarells in Goiás state alone, and the epidemic occurred in almost all Brazilian states
