Description
Specialized Biocontrol Fungus for Mite Management
- Mite Specific Biocontrol Agent – Highly effective against eriophyid mites, citrus mites, coconut mites, and other phytophagous mite species.
- Contact Pathogen – Infects mites through direct spore contact, penetrating their cuticle and colonizing internal tissues.
- Enzyme and Toxin Production -Produces cuticle-degrading enzymes and metabolites that ensure quick mortality.
- Targeted Action – Harmless to non-target insects like pollinators, predators, and parasitoids.
- Reduces Chemical Dependence – Offers a natural and safe alternative to synthetic acaricides.
- Residue-Free – Safe for humans, animals, and the environment; leaves no harmful residues on crops.
- Sustainable Solution – Establishes naturally in fields, providing long-term mite suppression.
- IPM Compatible – Works well in integrated pest management (IPM) with other biocontrol agents and organic inputs.
Cereals, Pulses, Vegetables, Fruits, Plantation crops, Spices, and Ornamentals

- Spore Attachment – Fungal spores adhere to mite body surface.
- Cuticle Penetration – Secretes enzymes (protease, chitinase, lipase) to break through the mite cuticle.
- Internal Colonization – Fungus proliferates inside the mite, consuming body fluids.
- Toxin Action – Releases metabolites that speed up mite mortality.
- Epidemic Effect – Dead mites sporulate, releasing new spores to infect others.
