Beauveria Bassiana

Entomopathogenic fungal biocontrol concentrate

Broad-spectrum biological insect control for sucking pests and soft-bodied insects

Beauveria bassiana is a naturally occurring entomopathogenic fungal concentrate widely used for biological management of agricultural insect pests. The fungus is highly effective against aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and other soft-bodied insects in greenhouse, nursery, and field crop systems.

The fungal spores infect insects through direct contact, penetrate the insect body, multiply internally, and eventually cause insect mortality while supporting sustainable and residue-free pest management.

Spore Attachment & Germination

The fungal spores attach to the insect cuticle within hours after contact and begin germination on the insect surface.

Cuticle Penetration

The germinating fungal hyphae penetrate through the insect cuticle and enter the internal body cavity.

Internal Colonization

Once inside the insect body, the fungus multiplies rapidly, absorbs nutrients, and colonizes internal tissues leading to insect mortality.

Enzyme & Metabolite Activity

Produces enzymes and fungal metabolites that weaken insect defense systems and support effective biological infection.

Secondary Spread

After insect death, fungal growth emerges externally and produces new spores capable of spreading naturally within the crop environment.

Long-Term Biological Suppression

The fungal spores remain active under favorable environmental conditions and support longer-lasting biological pest management.
