CIRIUS®
Plant-Based, Multi-Mechanism Biological Insecticide
CIRIUS® is a biologically sourced insecticide developed through the synergistic combination of plant-derived oil complexes and plant growth regulators.
It provides fast action, long-lasting protection, and a crop-friendly approach against a wide range of agricultural pests, particularly piercing-sucking insects.
By supporting the plant’s natural physiological balance, CIRIUS® works without leaving harmful chemical residues. This makes it highly suitable for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs and residue-sensitive production systems.
Mode of Action (How It Works)
CIRIUS® acts through multiple complementary mechanisms, ensuring effective and sustainable pest control:
Physical Action:
Plant-based oils form a thin film on the pest’s outer body, interfering with respiration.
Behavioral Action (Repellent Effect):
Naturally occurring aromatic compounds repel pests, disrupting feeding and settlement behavior.
Metabolic Action:
Bioactive plant compounds negatively affect the pest’s life cycle and vitality.
Plant Support Effect:
Plant growth regulators help enhance stress tolerance and promote faster recovery after pest pressure.
Target Pests
CIRIUS® is effective against the following key pests:
Whiteflies
Thrips
Aphids
