Micro Army AMP — encapsulated Ampelomyces quisqualis
Ampelomycesquisqualis
Microbial biopesticides are natural products made from microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, or viruses that control pests and diseases in crops. These biopesticides target specific pests while being safe for humans, animals, and beneficial insects. They offer an eco-friendly, sustainable solution to pest management in agriculture.
The science
Mode of action
How Ampelomyces quisqualis works inside the plant and the soil.
Obligate mycoparasitism
Acts as an obligate mycoparasite, directly invading powdery mildew fungi and extracting nutrients from living fungal cells.
Conidial destruction activity
Penetrates powdery mildew conidia and destroys spores internally, preventing sporulation and secondary disease spread.
Intracellular pathogen consumption
Consumes fungal cytoplasm and organelles, causing collapse of powdery mildew hyphae and reproductive structures.
Disease cycle interruption
Reduces viable pathogen inoculum on plant surfaces, effectively interrupting successive infection cycles.
Host-specific colonization
Selectively targets powdery mildew pathogens without affecting beneficial microflora, non-target fungi, or host plant tissues.

Key benefits
5 reasons growers choose Ampelomyces quisqualis.
- 01
Targeted powdery mildew control
Provides highly specific and effective biological control of powdery mildew across diverse agricultural crops.
- 02
No non-target effects
Preserves beneficial microorganisms due to strict pathogen-specific parasitic behavior.
- 03
Resistance management support
Reduces repeated chemical fungicide applications, helping delay resistance development in powdery mildew populations.
- 04
Residue-free disease protection
Leaves no chemical residues on harvested produce, supporting residue-sensitive and export markets.
- 05
IPM program compatibility
Integrates smoothly into integrated pest and disease management programs.
