Mode of Action

Beauveria bassiana is a natural occurring entomopathogenic fungus. It is capable of infecting all stages of insect life cycle including eggs, larvae, pupae, grubs, nymphs, hoppers and adult. The spores of Beauveria bassiana germinates on the insect’s cuticle after getting attached to it. The hyphae of Beauveria bassiana proliferates into the insect’s body and causes mortality through water loss and nutrient loss and various chemical & mechanical reactions,. Whole insect’s body gradually gets covered with mycelium and spores resulting in the death of the insect.
