Broad-Spectrum Biopesticides for Effective Crop Protection
Broad-Spectrum Biopesticides for Effective Crop Protection
Mode of Action :
Contact and Germination: Spores or mycelia of Metarhizium anisopliae come into contact with the insect body and germinate.
Penetration: The fungus penetrates the insect’s exoskeleton and begins to grow rapidly inside the insect.
Insect Death: The rapid growth leads to the weakening and eventual death of the insect.
Production of Destruxins: These toxins produced by the fungus contribute to the insect's weakening and mortality.
Colony Infection: Once a single insect is infected, it can lead to the complete destruction of the colony.
Enzymatic Activity: The fungus secretes subtilisin-like serine protease, initiating protein degradation in the host.
Benefits :
Eco-Friendly: Metarhizium anisopliae is environmentally friendly and easy to use as a bio-insecticide
Broad Pest Control: Effective against multiple life stages of pests, including eggs, larvae, pupae, nymphs, and adults of white grubs, beetles, and caterpillars.
Improved Plant Growth: Helps in pest reduction, leading to enhanced plant growth and health.
Increased Crop Productivity: Promotes higher yields and better overall crop productivity.
Safe for Beneficial Organisms: Does not harm beneficial parasites and predators, providing long-lasting pest control without disrupting the ecosystem.
Effective Against Thrips: Demonstrates excellent potential for managing thrips populations.
Flexible Application: Can be applied at any stage of harvesting, allowing for convenient use.
All crops (vegetable, cereals, pulses, fruits )
