Thanks to Anthony Hawes from AgBiotech, manufacturers of one of the NPV products available for helicoverpa control, who alerted us to an error in our original post.

That post listed Vivus Gold® as one of the two NPV products on the market, the other being Gemstar®.

In fact, Vivus Gold® has now been replaced by Vivus Max® which has a new registered rate for grain sorghum.

The original post has now been corrected in the light of this information and we’ve provided links to the labels of both NPV products, Gemstar® and Vivus Max®.
