Metarhizium anisopliae (1 x 108 Cells / ml)SUN BIO META is a biological insecticide based on a selective strain of naturally-occurring entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae. Once the fungus spores attach to the surface of the insect, they germinate and begin to grow, penetrate the exoskeleton of the insect and grow very rapidly inside the insect causing the insect’s death. Other insects that come in contact with infected insects also become infected with the fungus.

Mode of Action
SUN BIO META (Metarhizium anisopliae) infects all stages of insects including eggs, larvae, pupae, nymphs and adults. The spores attach to insect cuticle / integuments; they germinate and penetrate insect body. The hyphae through enzyme action proliferate in insect body and cause mortality through a combination of chemical, mechanical, water loss and nutrient loss effects. The insect body ultimately gets covered with mycelium and spores which may get dispersed and cause subsequent infections. Certain toxins called destruxin produced by this fungus also cause the mortality of insects.
