Beauveria-Bassiana
BEAUVERIA BASSIANA
Beauveria Bassiana is a beneficial fungi that is effective to use as biological insecticide for control against termites, thrips, whiteflies, aphids and different beetles.
Benefits : When spores of this fungus come in contact with the cuticle of susceptible insects, they germinate and grow directly through to the inner body of their host. The fungus infiltrates throughout the insect's body, producing toxins and draining the insect nutrients and eventually killing it.

These biological control agents such as pesticides and insecticides also fulfill one of the main conditions to qualify as such at a large scale, which is not becoming an invasive pest itself. Fortunately enough for growers, Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodite has also evolved to target only mollusks, and as such does not attack earthworms, insects, birds, spiders, or humans. [Read more]
