Mode of action
The mode of action of the active agent Beauveria bassiana is an entomo-pathogenic fungus that infects the target insect pests through adhesion proteins and enzymatic activity through the production of mucilage at the site of contact.
The fungus acts on different stages of host development, such as larvae, pupae, and adults.
The evasion of the immune system is mediated by the expression of Mcl1 proteins, the secretion of destruxins A and E, the production of trehalase, and the expression of faith genes involved in the cycle cell, allowing rapid multiplication and differentiation of hyphae in the host’s hemolymph, leading to host mummification of the affected insect. The fungus completely colonizes the insect after 72 hours, leading to death.
Application:
Boveril can be applied via soil drenching or aerial spraying. The application must provide direct contact between the product and the target pests. Apply in the late afternoon or on cloudy days, with temperatures between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius and a minimum relative humidity of 60%. Perform prior cleaning of the spraying equipment and avoid using a ready mixture.
For best results, we recommend an application rate of 2g/L of water. Boveril is available in a variety of pack sizes ranging from 75gms to 1KG to cater to large and small-scale growers.
