¬ HOST RANGE

Beauveria bassiana is the fungus with which AGROBIONSA formulates BEA – SIN. BEA – SIN offers a wide host range, including: Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci, B. argentifolli, Trialeurodes vaporarium), May beetles (Phyllophaga sp, Cyclophala spp.), corn stalk borer, among others.

¬ INFECTION MODE

Unlike bacteria and viruses, the entomopathogenic fungi such as BEA - SIN (Beauveria bassiana) can infect insects not only through the intestine, but also through spiracles and particularly directly by penetration of the integument. This property is independent of the insect's eating habits (Technical Data - CB 03, 1997).
