Contains 2 x 108/ml spores of Verticillium Spp. fungus known as "white-halo" because of the white mycellial growth on the edges of infected scale insects. The spores of the fungus are slimy & attach to the cuticle of insects.

How does MBF Vir-o-Action kill the insects ?

The fungus infects insects by producing hyphae from germinating spores that penetrate the insect's integument. The fungus then destroys the internal contents and the insects dies. The fungus eventually grows out through the cuticle and sporulates on the outside of the body. The fungus produces insecticidal toxins such as dipicolinic acid and a cyclodepsipeptide toxin called as bassianoli.
