NH Leonteros

NH Leonteros is a powerful bio-control solution designed to eliminate insect pests naturally, including beetle larvae, caterpillars, and root-knot nematodes. Once ingested by pests, NH Leonteros releases endotoxins that bind to and damage the gut lining, causing rapid pest mortality.

Additionally, NH Leonteros produces chitinase enzymes that break down chitin in the exoskeletons and gut linings of hard-bodied pests, further enhancing its effectiveness. It is suitable for crops such as corn, leafy greens, and cruciferous vegetables, providing an eco-friendly, residue-free solution for pest control without affecting beneficial organisms.

🔬 Mechanism of Action

🦠 Endotoxin Release – Disrupts insect gut lining, leading to starvation and mortality.
🚫 Chitin Breakdown – Produces chitinase enzymes that degrade exoskeletons and gut walls.
🐛 Pest-Specific Targeting – Affects beetles, caterpillars, and nematodes without harming beneficial insects.
