Our goal is to provide effective tools to address today\u2019s farming challenges: high pest pressure, resistance development, and the need for more sustainable programs compatible with Integrated Pest Management (IPM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incorporation of ABLE\u00ae GC91 into our portfolio in Mexico reflects this vision: an advanced microbial solution designed to deliver precision, potency, and stability in the control of key lepidopteran pests in high-value horticultural crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is ABLE\u00ae GC91?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ABLE\u00ae GC91 is a microbial bioinsecticide formulated with <em>Bacillus thuringiensis<\/em> subsp. <em>aizawai<\/em> GC91 (3.8%), specifically developed for the control of difficult pests. It holds COFEPRIS Registration No. RSCO-INAC-0105-368-002-004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its technological foundation is an exclusive, transconjugated and hyperactive strain optimized to deliver enhanced insecticidal potency, improved field persistence, and high industrial stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The innovation behind the GC91 strain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ABLE is not a conventional Bt. It is based on a hybrid transconjugated strain (<em>aizawai<\/em> + <em>kurstaki<\/em>), developed through horizontal gene transfer to enhance the production of specific Cry toxins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transconjugated and hyperactive strain<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GC91 strain was improved to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Increase production of Cry1Aa and Cry1Ab, essential for worm control in fruiting horticultural crops<br>\u2022 Generate synergy among multiple insecticidal proteins<br>\u2022 Improve stability during fermentation and shelf life<br>\u2022 Enhance persistence and performance under real field conditions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is a more potent, more stable, and scientifically optimized strain, effective even against advanced larval stages (L3\u2013L4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Triple lethal action with high Cry toxin concentration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ABLE\u00ae GC91 acts through a biological system of three complementary modes of action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Protein crystals (Cry toxins)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It contains multiple Cry toxins\u2014particularly Cry1Aa and Cry1Ab\u2014which activate in the insect\u2019s alkaline midgut, bind to specific receptors, and cause cellular disruption, paralysis, and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Viable spores<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These germinate inside the insect, enhancing insecticidal activity through septicemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Fermentation derivatives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They act synergistically with crystals and spores, increasing the overall efficacy of the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to its high concentration and internal synergy, ABLE\u00ae GC91 achieves greater efficacy even at lower doses, optimizing cost per hectare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Designed for difficult pests in high-value crops<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ABLE\u00ae GC91 was specifically developed for the control of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 <em>Spodoptera<\/em> spp.<br>\u2022 <em>Helicoverpa<\/em> spp.<br>\u2022 <em>Trichoplusia<\/em> spp.<br>\u2022 <em>Plutella<\/em> spp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its performance stands out even in L3\u2013L4 larval stages, where many biological products tend to lose effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its high specificity and microbial origin, make it a strategic ally within IPM programs and organic or low-residue production systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Formulation technology with integrated UV protection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ABLE\u00ae GC91 formulation incorporates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Integrated ultraviolet protection for improved persistence under solar radiation<br>\u2022 Optimization for applications at a pH close to 6.5<br>\u2022 Evening application recommendation to maximize efficacy <br><br>The combination of advanced strain + optimized formulation + regulatory backing (COFEPRIS) positions ABLE\u00ae GC91 as a solid and reliable technical tool for the Mexican market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ABLE\u00ae GC91 \u2013 Biological precision for more efficient agriculture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an environment where pests evolve and pressure increases, ABLE\u00ae GC91 represents a new generation of specific, stable, and highly effective bioinsecticides designed to tackle complex pests with a strong scientific foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explore how to integrate ABLE\u00ae GC91 into an organic or low-residue production system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For technical information or registration details in Mexico: <a href=\"mailto:info@veganic.bio\">info@veganic.bio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biological innovation with strong technical support At Veganic, we develop agricultural biosolutions that combine science, innovation, and a strong technical field approach.
