LIFE LINE
VERTICILLIUM LECANII
Life-Line CAPS are encapsulated capsules containing the entomopathogenic fungus Verticillium lecanii. Upon contact with a target insect or through ingestion of nutrients from the insect, the fungal spores attach, germinate, and grow directly through the spiracles into the host’s body, eventually leading to the insect’s death.
Per Acre Required = Minimum 1 capsules, Recommended 2 or 3 (Over Dose Has No Side Effects)

BENEFITS OF LIFE LINE
Verticillium lecanii infects target insects upon contact of its spores with their cuticle. The fungus then grows through the insect's exoskeleton, spreading throughout its body, depriving it of nutrients, and ultimately causing mortality within 48-72 hours. It is a natural and eco-friendly insecticide that targets a wide range of insect pests while remaining safe for beneficial insects, humans, and the environment.
WHEN TO BE USED
Apply Life-Line (Verticillium Lecanii) within 3 days before and after the Dark Moon (Amavasya) each month, or 3 to 4 times every 5 to 6 days as needed when insect/borer/larvae infestations occur.
