Beauveria bassiana — Classic Entomopathogenic Fungus
Beauveria bassiana is a widely distributed entomopathogenic fungus. Conidia infect insects through the cuticle, proliferate inside the host, and produce toxins causing white muscardine death. It is one of the most important bio-insecticides due to its broad spectrum, safety, and zero residue.
Mechanisms of Action
Cuticle Infection
Conidia attach to the insect cuticle, germinate, and penetrate into the hemocoel via appressoria.
Sporulation & Death
Hyphae fill the host and erupt through the cuticle, forming new conidia — the characteristic white muscardine.
Toxin Action
Secretes beauvericin and other metabolites that disrupt insect neural and metabolic systems.
Environmental Persistence
Survives on soil and plant surfaces, creating secondary infection sources for extended control.
