Certis GemStar LC - Insecticide - Helicoverpa zea NPV - 2.5 Gallon (2/Cs) (72/Plt)

Gemstar® LC | Targeted Viral Insecticide for Heliothis/Helicoverpa Species

Gemstar® LC is a highly specific biological insecticide that utilizes a naturally occurring nuclear polyhedrosis virus to control destructive Heliothis and Helicoverpa larvae, including corn earworm, cotton bollworm, and tomato fruitworm. This host-specific virus infects and kills target pests while remaining completely harmless to beneficial insects, wildlife, livestock, and humans.

Ideal for integrated pest management and organic production systems, Gemstar LC offers a unique mode of action that helps manage resistance while providing effective control of these economically significant pests across various crops.

Key Benefits:

• Species-Specific Control: Targets Heliothis/Helicoverpa larvae without harming beneficial species.

• Resistance Management: Provides an effective alternative to conventional insecticides.

• Organic Production: Approved for use in OMRI and NOP-certified organic operations.

• Environmental Safety: Leaves no harmful residues and preserves ecosystem balance.

• Tank-Mix Compatibility: Can be combined with most agricultural chemicals for flexible program integration.

Gemstar LC requires ingestion by target larvae, making thorough spray coverage essential for optimal performance. Early scouting and timely application against newly hatched larvae ensure maximum effectiveness against these damaging pests.
