Mode Of Action:
It is highly effective naturally occurring entomopathogenic fungus that parasites several insects of crops, Beauveria bassiana infects all stages of insect, including eggs, larvae, pupae, grubs, nymphs, hoppers and adult. The spores attached to insect cuticle, germinate and penetrate into the insect body. The hypahe through enzymes action, proliferate insect body and cause mortality through a combination of chemical, mechanical, water loss and nutrient loss effects. The insect body ultimately gets covered with white mycelium and spores. Certain toxins are produced by this fungus and cause the mortality of insect.
