- v BioDefend is a naturally occurring entomopathogenic fungus with a wide range of applications, including biocontrol of insect pests. It’s known for causing white muscardine disease in insects, where the fungus attaches to the insect’s cuticle, germinates, and penetrates the body, ultimately leading to insect death.
Benefits : - Entomopathogen: B. bassiana is a well-known fungal pathogen of insects, with a broad host range.
- White Muscardine: This disease is characterized by the white, cottony growth of the fungus on the insect’s body after it has died.
- Biocontrol Agent: B. bassiana is used in agriculture and forestry to control insect pests, especially in integrated pest management programs.
- Endophyte:B. bassiana can also exist as a natural endophyte within plants, where it may provide benefits like plant-growth promotion or disease resistance.
- Mode of Action: The fungus attaches to the insect’s cuticle, germinates, penetrates through the cuticle using enzymes, and then invades the hemolymph, producing toxins and metabolites.
