The entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana works by infecting with spores. The spores adhere to the target insect's outer shell (cuticle) and begin the infection process. At this point, you may notice insects with a whitish appearance. Once the spores have penetrated the protective barrier of the cuticle, they reproduce inside the host insect. Death occurs 5 to 7 days after infection.
BioCeres EC is most effective when used at first sign of pest infestation when newly hatched insects are most vulnerable to infection by the spores of Beauveria bassiana.
Also available in wettable powder, BioCeres WP.
