This microbiological insecticide acts by direct contact with its target. After application of the product, the conidia come into contact with the insect’s integument, and under ideal conditions they germinate and penetrate. Inside the insect, the fungus releases several enzymes and toxins during its infection process that lead to the death of the host. Then, the fungus begins the extrusion process, colonizing the outside of the insect, where it is possible to observe with the naked eye a powdery layer of conidia in pinkish tones.
Dilute the product in water, filter and apply it on the crops with a sprayer. Applications should be made aiming at the underside of the leaves where the pests are found. The application must be carried out, through spray bars, with relative humidity above 70%. Avoid exposure to ultraviolet rays and high temperature. Use spray volume according to the culture and size of the plants, in order to obtain a good coverage.
