Listing ID #4971952

Tag Veria contains most virulent strain of Beauveria bassiana, a broad spectrum entomopathogenic fungus, which is effective against various sucking insect pests and chewing insect pests. Conidia in Tag Veria, after coming in contact with the insect body, get attached to the cuticle and start germinating. The hyphae penetrate the cuticle and proliferate in the insect’s body. Humidity is essential for conidial germination and infection established between 24 and 48 hours.
After entering insect body, a toxin called Beauvericin is produced, which weakens the insect’s immune system. The infected insect may live for 3 – 5 days after hyphal penetration.
After death, the conidiophores bearing conidia are produced on cadaver and the insect body gets mummified.
