Environment-friendly highly effective biological larvicide
Foray is an economic and eco-friendly biological larvicide, used in forest pest control program. It contains the spores and unique crystalline proteins produced by a naturally occurring bacterium known as Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (Btk), strain ABTS-351.
Foray is not only a product; it is actually years of knowledge and experience. It was specifically developed for forestry and its efficiency and quality have been proved.
Foray is different from other forest products thanks to its special mode of action. Foray has a very specific mode of action and its active ingredient, Btk strain ABTS-351, acts when ingested by the targetted harmful lepidoptera larvae. When Btk is eaten by a susceptible larva, the toxin is released, the midgut wall is destroyed, the gut becomes paralyzed, and the larva stops feeding and die within 2-5 days.
