Real Metarhizium 69

About

Real Metarhizium 69 is composed of spores of the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae strain ICIPE 69 and is used to control Whiteflies, Mealybug, Thrips and Snout Beetle| Approved by ECOCERT Inputs.

Mode of Action

REAL METARHIZIUM 69 is a contact bio-pesticide that does not need to be ingested for effective action. Once the REAL METARHIZIUM 69 spores come into contact with the cuticle of the target pest, they germinate, secreting enzymes, which are specific in their ability to weaken the insect cuticle. This action then leads to water loss and ultimately the death of the host insect. The fungus then invades the host directly through the cuticle and once inside it proliferates through feeding on the host’s internal organs, killing the host.

Benefits

Real Metarhizium 69 is a broad-spectrum biopesticide and is used as a preventative and curative foliar spray to help control thrips, mealybug, whitefly, snout beetles and woolly apple aphid.

REAL METARHIZIUM 69 has no maximum residue limit (MRL) or preharvest interval (PHI) and can therefore be applied till the day of harvest.

REAL METARHIZIUM 69 does not affect pest predators or other beneficial insects, and is able to achieve pest control while allowing the incidence of predation to escalate.

When pest pressure is high, REAL METARHIZIUM 69 can be applied in combination with predators (beneficial insects) or other compatible insecticides.

Application

Apply as foliar spray or soil drench as needed. Carefully review product label and contact your local realIPM biotechnical expert for additional information

Compatibility

When pest pressure is high, REAL METARHIZIUM 69 can be applied in combination with predators (beneficial insects) or other compatible insecticides.
