Mode of Action
This fungus produces abundant spores and mycelium. The spores which are slimy in nature get attached to the cuticle of insects. The spores germinate and produce hyphae and penetrate in the insect body. An enzyme produced by the fungus help it to penetrate into the insect body and proliferate within the insect. This heavy growth of the fungus makes the insect hard and mummified. In addition, the fungus also produces mycotoxin which kills the insect within 4 to 6 days.
