Recently, Vittia, a Brazilian agricultural biotechnology giant, proudly unveiled two groundbreaking biopesticide products: META-TURBO MAX and BOVÉRIA-TURBO WP. These innovative products, embodying Vittia's cutting-edge scientific achievements, are poised to spark a green revolution in agricultural pest management in Brazil and globally, offering farmers efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly new options for pest and disease control.

With growing global attention on sustainable agriculture and environmental protection, the drawbacks of traditional chemical pesticides have become increasingly apparent. Vittia, deeply rooted in the biotechnology sector, leverages its exclusive strains and advanced technology to provide Brazilian farmers with innovative solutions to increasingly severe agricultural pest and disease challenges, propelling Brazilian agriculture towards a healthier and more efficient future.

META-TURBO MAX is a liquid concentrated suspension based on the highly effective Metarhizium anisopliae BV12 strain. Its outstanding feature is its high specificity, demonstrating astonishing efficacy against a variety of major agricultural pests in Brazil, including the sugarcane weevil and fall armyworm.

The unique aspect of this biopesticide lies in its "precision strike" characteristic. Not only does it significantly reduce pest populations, but more importantly, it is completely harmless to beneficial insects and natural enemies in the agricultural ecosystem, such as bees and ladybugs. This characteristic completely avoids the secondary pest outbreaks and ecological imbalances that traditional chemical pesticides can cause, helping to maintain agricultural biodiversity and promote the healthy development of agricultural ecosystems.

Furthermore, the application of META-TURBO MAX is crucial for mitigating pest resistance to chemical pesticides. By introducing new modes of action, it effectively extends the lifespan of existing pesticides, ensuring long-term sustainable pest control, saving farmers costs, and enhancing the resilience of agricultural production.

The other significant new product, BOVÉRIA-TURBO WP, is centered on the Beauveria bassiana BVF15 strain, exclusively selected and optimized by Vittia. The biggest highlight of this biopesticide is its innovative wettable powder (WP) formulation, which successfully overcomes the traditional problem of biopesticide spores being susceptible to UV degradation.

Through Vittia's advanced formulation technology, BOVÉRIA-TURBO WP can significantly extend its persistence in the field, maintaining activity for a long time even under the strong sunlight of Brazil's tropical climate, providing continuous and effective pest control. It can efficiently control a variety of economic crop pests, including whiteflies and coffee berry borers.

Vittia emphasizes that BOVÉRIA-TURBO WP acts rapidly; typically within 72 hours after application, Beauveria bassiana spores successfully colonize the pest's body and begin to act, leading to pest infection and death. Its excellent compatibility allows it to seamlessly integrate into existing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, synergizing with various pesticides and agricultural practices. Similarly, its high safety for natural enemies makes it an indispensable component of modern green agriculture, collectively building a healthy agricultural ecosystem.

Additionally, Ms. Mírian Rabelo de Faria, Vittia's Technical Development Manager, elaborated on the company's unique advantage in biotechnology – a "vertically integrated" R&D model. This model is at the core of Vittia's innovation capabilities, granting the company comprehensive control from initial microbial strain screening, in-depth genomic and physiological research, precise formulation optimization, to strict production control and market promotion of the final product.

"This end-to-end management approach ensures that every Vittia product embodies the company's most cutting-edge scientific achievements and highest standards of quality control," Ms. Mírian stated. "We can quickly respond and develop products best suited to farmers' needs, based on the local agricultural ecosystem and pest characteristics in Brazil."

She further added, "Through META-TURBO MAX and BOVÉRIA-TURBO WP, we have greatly enriched our existing product line, bringing innovative and exclusive strains with higher toxicity and more precise action. These new products synergize with existing integrated pest management measures, not only expanding the scope of control but also demonstrating excellent compatibility, providing farmers with unprecedented flexible choices."
