Mode of Action

Metarhizium Anisopliae works primarily through contact. When fungal spores come into contact with a susceptible insect, they attach to the insect's outer body surface and germinate under suitable conditions. The fungal growth penetrates the insect's outer cuticle and develops inside the insect, eventually causing its death.

Under favorable conditions, infected insects may develop visible fungal growth on their bodies. This is a characteristic indication of fungal infection.
