Paecilomite® contains conidiospores of Isaria fumosorosea. The composition is customised to comply with regulatory guidelines of respective countries. Isaria fumosorosea is a proprietary strain and compliant with National Bio Diversity Authority guidelines and has Access Benefit Sharing (ABS) agreement with the State Bio Diversity Board for payment of royalty to the habitat from where the microbes have been isolated.

Conidial penetration: The microscopic conidial spores of the Isaria fumosorosea are slimy and attach to the cuticle of the insect. Hyphae from the germinating spores are produced that penetrate the insect’s integument and destroy the internal contents of the insect.

Enzyme production: Isaria fumosorosea mycelia produce enzymes and toxins which have insecticidal properties. These toxins weaken the hosts immune system (of insect) and aid in eventually killing it.

Growth: Once inside, Isaria fumosorosea replicates and consumes the insect’s internal contents eventually killing it. The fungus eventually grows out of the insect’s cuticle and starts sporulating. Infected insects appear as white to yellowish cottony particles. Isaria fumosorosea infects the insect on contact and does not need to be consumed by the host to cause infection.

  • • Paecilomite®effectively controls economically important sucking pests such as whitefly, leaf hoppers, mealy bugs, aphids, thrips , jassids and a wide range of crops.
  • • Pathogenic pest load reduction leads to improved plant health and thereby increased crop productivity.
  • • Paecilomite®can be used as an effective component in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes, thereby leading to a reduction in use of chemical pesticides and creating a safer environment.
