Mode of Action
How It Works
See exactly how Metanicide targets pests in 3 simple steps.
Soil & foliar contact
Spores contact the pest cuticle either in soil or on treated foliage.
Cuticle penetration
Metarhizium anisopliae penetrates using enzymatic and mechanical pressure.
Internal pest kill
The fungus grows internally, causing mortality and releasing spores for further soil colonization.
