Naturally occuring insecticidal microorganism
Safe to most beneficial insects
Ideal for resistance management and IPM programs

When spores of Isarid come into contact with the insect pest they attach to the body and begin to grow almost immediately. Once the spore germ tube penetrates the host cuticle, fungal multiplication takes place through formation of hyphal bodies in the host body. The Isarid microbe mechanically disrupts the host’s internal organs and initiates tissue necrosis. This leads to lack of feeding, inactivity and eventually death.
