The science

Mode of action

How Metarhizium Anisopliae works inside the plant and the soil.

  1. Insect cuticle recognition

    Metarhizium anisopliae recognizes specific insect cuticular hydrocarbons, enabling host-specific attachment and precise initiation of infection processes.

  2. Enzymatic cuticle penetration

    Secretes proteases, chitinases, and lipases while applying mechanical pressure to effectively breach multiple layers of the insect cuticle.

  3. Hemolymph invasion

    Following penetration, the fungus colonizes insect hemolymph, disrupting metabolic functions and impairing vital physiological systems.

  4. Destruxin toxin secretion

    Produces destruxin toxins that induce paralysis, suppress insect immune responses, and ultimately lead to insect death.

  5. Environmental persistence mechanism

    After host mortality, sporulates on insect cadavers, ensuring prolonged field persistence and continuous biological pest suppression.

Key benefits

5 reasons growers choose Metarhizium Anisopliae.

  1. 01

    Effective soil pest control

    Provides effective control of termites, white grubs, borers, and other soil-dwelling insect pests across crops.

  2. 02

    Long-term pest suppression

    Ensures sustained pest suppression through soil persistence, recycling of spores, and repeated natural infection cycles.

  3. 03

    Eco-safe insect management

    Remains non-toxic to crops, humans, livestock, and beneficial organisms, ensuring safe ecological compatibility.

  4. 04

    Resistance management tool

    Reduces risk of pest resistance development due to its unique biological infection-based mode of action.

  5. 05

    Reduced crop damage

    Minimizes insect feeding damage, improving crop health, productivity, and overall yield performance.
