How does it work – Biocontrol agent Verticillium lecanii for sucking pests

Eggs, larvae, pupae, nymphs, and adults are all susceptible to infection.
As the spores germinate, they penetrate the insect’s cuticle and integument.
The hyphae, through enzyme action, proliferate in the insect body and cause mortality through a combination of chemical, mechanical, water loss, and nutrient loss effects.
Eventually, the insect body is covered with mycelium and spores, which may spread and cause infection.
It is also thought that certain toxins produced by this fungus cause insect mortality, called destruxin.
