Target Pests and Recommended Crops

Target Pests: Root grubs and stem borers.

Recommended Crops: Fruit and vegetable crops and other crops approved on the product label.

Dosage and Application

Application: Mix the recommended quantity in clean water and apply uniformly to the target area. For soil-dwelling pests, use the manufacturer-recommended soil drenching or drip application method.

Mode of Action

Metarhizium anisopliae is an entomopathogenic fungus. Its spores attach to susceptible insects, germinate and penetrate their outer covering. The fungus develops inside the insect and produces metabolites that disrupt normal biological functions, gradually reducing pest populations.

Product Details

Precaution: Follow the product label for approved crops, application timing and safety precautions. Avoid mixing with incompatible chemical fungicides that may reduce fungal viability. Biological effectiveness depends on environmental conditions and pest susceptibility.
