Description

Pests

Whitefly with a side effect on aphids and thrips.

Crops

Vegetables, ornamentals, nursery trees and soft fruit in protected cultivation.

Mode of action

After spraying Mycotal, the spores germinate and grow to hyphae that penetrate the pest's body cavity. Here they proliferate and destroy the tissues. The fungus then grows through the insect cuticle and produces spores on the outside of the cadaver, which may spread the infection to other vulnerable pests. Mycotal is effective through direct contact, and under the right environmental conditions, kills the target after 7-10 days.

Visual effect

Infested insects shrivel, or in humid conditions, develop a fluffy mycelium outside the insect.
