More about this product
Metarhizium kills insects by a specialized infection process:
Spore Contact – Fungal spores stick to the insect’s body (cuticle).
Germination & Penetration – Spores germinate and form structures that break through the insect’s exoskeleton using enzymes and mechanical pressure.
Colonization – The fungus grows inside the insect, consuming its tissues and releasing toxic compounds.
Death & Sporulation – The insect dies; new fungal spores emerge from the cadaver, spreading to infect other insects.
