Entomopathogenic fungal biocontrol concentrate
Biological control concentrate for sucking pests and soft-bodied insects
Verticillium lecanii is an entomopathogenic fungal concentrate widely used for biological management of sucking insect pests in greenhouse, nursery, and field crop systems. The fungus infects insects through direct contact and provides eco-friendly, residue-free biological suppression.
The fungal spores attach to the insect surface, germinate under humid conditions, penetrate the cuticle, and multiply internally, eventually causing insect mortality.
Spore Attachment & Germination
Fungal spores attach to the insect cuticle and germinate rapidly under favorable humidity conditions.
Cuticle Penetration
The germinating hyphae penetrate through the insect exoskeleton using enzymatic activity and mechanical pressure.
Internal Colonization
After entering the insect body, the fungus multiplies internally and consumes insect tissues and nutrients.
Enzyme & Metabolite Production
Produces enzymes and fungal metabolites that weaken the insect host and support rapid insect mortality.
Secondary Spread
Following insect death, fungal growth develops externally and releases new spores capable of naturally spreading within the crop environment.
Long-Term Biological Suppression
Under suitable environmental conditions, the fungus remains active and supports sustainable biological pest management.
