The science

Mode of action

How Verticillium lecanii works inside the plant and the soil.

  1. Direct cuticle penetration

    Verticillium lecanii penetrates soft-bodied insect cuticles by secreting specialized enzymes that degrade protective cuticular layers.

  2. Internal tissue multiplication

    After penetration, the fungus multiplies rapidly inside insect tissues, severely disrupting normal physiological and metabolic processes.

  3. Toxin-induced feeding cessation

    Produces insecticidal toxins that cause immediate feeding inhibition, paralysis, and progressive weakening leading to insect mortality.

  4. Secondary sporulation development

    Following host death, the fungus sporulates on insect cadavers, releasing fresh infective spores into the surrounding environment.

  5. Humidity-dependent infection

    Performs optimally under high humidity conditions, which enhance spore germination, cuticle penetration, and infection efficiency.

Key benefits

5 reasons growers choose Verticillium lecanii.

  1. 01

    Effective sucking pest control

    Provides efficient control of aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and mealybugs across vegetable, fruit, and protected cultivation systems.

  2. 02

    Rapid pest population reduction

    Fast infection and multiplication cycles result in a rapid decline of sucking pest populations under favorable conditions.

  3. 03

    Safe for beneficial organisms

    Demonstrates minimal adverse effects on beneficial insects, natural predators, and pollinators when applied as recommended.

  4. 04

    Residue-free crop protection

    Ensures harvested produce remains free from chemical residues, supporting compliance with export and food safety standards.

  5. 05

    Sustainable pest management solution

    Supports long-term ecological balance by providing an environmentally safe and biologically sustainable pest management approach.
