Verticillium Lecanii

CFU : 1 x 10⁸ per gm                    CFU : 2 x 10⁹ per ml

Mode of Action

The spores of Verticillium lecanii are very slim and upon coming in contact with the insect, attaches to the cuticle of insect. They produce hyphae from germinating spores which penetrate the outer protective layer (integument) of the insect thereby infecting it. Gradually the internal content of the insect is destroyed and the insect dies. Further, the fungus eventually grows out through the cuticle and sporulates on the outside of the body. Infected insects will resemble to white cotton like particles. 

Benefits

Effective against all soft bodied sucking insect like Mealy bugs, Scale insects, Thrips, Aphids, White flies, Hoppers, Jassids and all types of Mites.
