LOOPEX FC- For Control of the Cabbage Looper and Alfalfa Looper
Loopex FC is an insecticidal virus for the control of cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni) and alfalfa looper (Autographa californica) larvae on various field crops. It kills the larvae by ingestion and has an additional long-term effect on pest population reduction. Loopex FC is a valuable resistance management tool that can be included in any integrated pest management program (IPM), especially for the control of insecticide resistant populations.
