BIOFUM is a product for agricultural use composed of selected strains of Isaria fumosorosea with a broad spectrum for the control of insects such as whiteflies, bedbugs and thrips.
BIOFUM acts as an entomopathogenic agent through the germination and penetration of the conidia in the insect's cuticle, it passes into the hemocele (circulatory system) where a mycelial mass is formed by the growth of the fungus and invades all tissues; In addition, toxins are released that control the development of the insect. If the humidity and temperature are favorable, Isaria fumosorosea emerges from the body of the insect producing grayish conidia.
BIOFUM is a biological insecticide that guarantees excellent control of the tobacco whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and the greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum).
Similarly, the Isaria fumosorosea strains from BIOFUM have activity against thrips and bed bugs.
