Mode Of Action:
It infects all the stages of insects. The spores of Verticillium lecanii get attached to the cuticle of insects on contact. The fungus gains entry through the cuticle by enzymes. It infects insect by producing hyphae from germinating spores that penetrate the insect cuticle/integument. The fungus than destroy the internal body content resulting in the mortality of insects by combination of chemical, mechanical, water loss and nutrient loss effect. The fungus grows on cuticle and produce certain toxins like dipicloinic acid and bassianolide which cause mortality.
