Description: Dr. Bacto’s Vertigo 4K has the fungus Verticillium lecanii which is entomopathogenic fungi that control mealy bugs of citrus.

These are natural mortality agents and are environmentally safe and used for the biological control of insects and other arthropod pests.

Mode of Action: The spores of Verticillium lecanii get attached to the cuticle of insects on contact.

The fungus gains entry through the cuticle by enzymes. It infects insects by producing hyphae from germinating spores penetrating the insect cuticle/integument.

Once entered, it proliferates inside the host, eventually leading to its death.

Benefits: It is used for the biological control of insects and other arthropod pests. Target Pests: Effective against all soft body-sucking pests like Thrips, Mealy bugs, White flies, Jassids, etc.
