Lecatech WP is a biological insecticide used to control whiteflies.
MODE OF ACTION
The infection process is as follows
- Attachment – Spores of L.lecanii attach to the insect body.
- Germination – Spores germinate and form an appressorium.
- Invasion – The appressorium breaks the insect cuticle and enters the insect body by mechanical pressure and enzymatic action.
- Proliferation – The fungi multiply throughout the insect body, releasing toxins that destroy the insect’s organs leading to the death of the insect causing the ‘white halo disease’.
- Emergence – Thue fungi emerge from the insect body sporulate and start the infection cycle upon contact with other insects.
Active Ingredients
