How Does ECOGANIC® TOTALIN Work? An Agronomic Approach:
ECOGANIC® TOTALIN combines the action of plant extracts with specific microorganisms for the control of Tuta absoluta. Its mechanism of action is based on:
- Direct Contact: When spraying the product on plants, plant extracts and microorganisms come into contact with adults and young larvae of Tuta absoluta.
- Interference with Larval Development: The microorganisms present in the formulation can affect the development of the larvae in their early stages (L1 and L2), preventing their progression to more harmful stages.
- Repellency and Deterrence: Plant extracts can have a repellent effect on adults, reducing oviposition and proliferation of the pest.
For maximum effectiveness, it is crucial to ensure good coverage of the entire plant, especially young leaves and shoots where Tuta absoluta usually lays its eggs and where the larvae begin to feed.
