Mode of action


The spores of Verticillium lecanii gets attached to the
cuticle of the insects on contact. The fungus gains entry through the
cuticle by enzymes. It infects insects by producing hyphae from
germinating spores that penetrate the insect integument. The fungus
destroys the internal body contents resulting in the mortality of
insects. The fungus eventually grows through the insect cuticle and
sporulates on the body of the insects to produce cyclosipeptide toxin
called Bassianolide, which kills the insect in 4-6 days. Larve and pupae
die before the fungus is visible. Dead larvae and pupae are light to
dark yellow, wrinkled and no longer shiny.Under favorable conditions
white fungal fluffy mycelium appears on the infected insects.
