Tomato: Caution Using BotaniGard

Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail

BotaniGard has again caused injury on tomato plants in the greenhouse. BotaniGard is a bio-insecticide containing the fungus Beauvaria bassiania. Growers have reported that tomato plants sprayed with BotaniGard ES have developed dramatic edema, downward curling of the leaves and yellowing along the veins of the leaflets. Injury has been reported with the ES formulation. Less injury is likely when using the WP. BotaniGard should be applied to tomatoes in the greenhouse with caution.
