Myco-Meta (Bio-insecticide): Metarhizium anisopliae

Myco-Meta is produced by using Metarhizium anisopliae, which is an entomopathogenic fungus that can control many insect pests.

Mode of Action: Upon application of Myco-Meta in the soil, the spores get the favourable condition to germinate and thereby the mycelium develops. When the insects come in to contact with the fungus, it becomes infected by the mycelia and the fungal mycelia starts deriving nutrients from the body fluid of the insect which eventually perishes the insect.

Benefits: Myco-Meta controls borers, root grubs, leaf hoppers, cutworms, termites, palm weevils, cockchafers, spittlebugs, grubs, beetles; root weevils, flies, gnats and thrips.
