VICTOR, N.Y. – BioWorks, a customer-focused provider of safe, proven and effective biopesticides and plant nutrition products, today announced the launch of a new biopesticide BotaniGard MAXX. The new mycoinsecticide has a quick knockdown effect with natural pyrethrins paired with Beauveria bassiana Strain GHA as the active ingredients according to the release.
According to the company, BotaniGard MAXX is a formulation based on the combination of natural pyrethrins and Beauveria bassiana Strain GHA.
