BASF® Velifer® Fungal Contact Insecticide & Miticide — 32oz

Velifer is a biological insecticide and miticide from BASF, powered by Beauveria bassiana strain PPRI 5339 — an entomopathogenic fungus that infects and kills insects and mites on contact. Designed for commercial greenhouse operations, controlled environment agriculture (CEA), and ornamental and vegetable production, Velifer delivers fast-acting biological pest control that is compatible with beneficial insect programs.

Pest feeding stops quickly after application, with insect and mite death occurring within 24–48 hours. Velifer can be applied by spray, dip, drench, or fog, making it one of the most versatile biological controls available for greenhouse IPM rotation programs.
