Metarhizium anisopliae Powder Bio-Insecticide for Root Grubs and Weevils
Metarhizium anisopliae Powder is a biological insecticide formulated with entomopathogenic fungal spores in a talcum-based powder. When spores contact an insect's cuticle, they grow and proliferate inside the insect and produce toxins associated with muscardine disease.
