Resistance? None here! #Helicoverpa & #FallArmyworm larvae show no resistance to #AgBiTechโ€™s biological products, thanks to our naturally-occuring #baculovirus active ingredient. Hear it from our growers ๐Ÿ‘‡

Good to see that your Helicoverpa is sorting itself out Angus! ๐Ÿ› We're seeing heaps of #Helicoverpa in #wheat around the Darling Downs at the moment. It's a good time to spray some #ViVUS Max or hope that your neighbour does!
Finding heaps of dead Heliโ€™s in un-sprayed wheat the last week. Looks like natural virus or the amount of Vivus going out is having an effect. Also finding a lot moving to the top of the awns. If it was sorghum Iโ€™d be thinking there was a lot more about to through in the towel!๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ

Happy #WorldCottonDay! Iโ€™ve been so humbled by the warmth and willingness of the Australian cotton industry to share information and support each other. Itโ€™s one of a kind & Iโ€™m so happy to be a part of the industry that produces some of the worldsโ€™ finest fibre! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿค—

Fun fact Friday! Did you know that some #pest caterpillars, including #Helicoverpa & #FallArmyworm, bury into the #soil to pupate? Pupation often lasts 4-6 weeks ๐Ÿ› If youโ€™re seeing #pupae tunnels like this ๐Ÿ‘† in your soil, it might be time to give the #AgBiTech team a ring ๐Ÿ“ž

Control #Helicoverpa larvae all season with #ViVUS Max. Itโ€™s biological formula has no resistance, unlike chemical-based alternatives ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿ› Added bonus? Infected larvae spread the virus for a longer effective period & fewer applications โœ… ๐Ÿ‘‰ bit.ly/ViVUSMax #agbitech

๐Ÿ‘€ #AussieFarmers, want to know the secret to controlling #Helicoverpa in your #sorghum #crop? Strike early with #ViVUSMax - itโ€™s soft on #crops but hard on Helicoverpa larvae. Protect your bottom line ๐Ÿ‘‰ bit.ly/ViVUSMax #AgBiTech #IPM

๐Ÿค” Do you remember #agriculture without #NPVs or biological #pest controls? Jeff Bidstrup does. Listen to how #AgBiTech and a caterpillar virus changed his #farming ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ‘‡ #viableagriculture #IPM
Iโ€™m not normally in favor of biological weapons, but I make an exception for headworms.

๐Ÿ”ฌHave you ever wondered how we tell if a #FallArmyworm #moth has been killed by #Magnet? #AgBiTech BDO @caitlinmlangley has been in #Bowen checking #FAW stomachs for Magnetโ€™s telltale blue dye! ๐Ÿงฒ

Reminder to check for pests in your #crop ๐Ÿ›! We're hearing more reports of #Helicoverpa & #FallArmyworm across NSW & QLD, spreading as the season continues.
Thereโ€™s a few armyworm in the heavy early barley crops at the moment. Not effecting yield yet, will keep checking them. Averaging 2-4/m2.
