Microbial Biofertilizers
Micro Army LEC is a plant and soil enhancer featuring Lecanicillium lecanii, a beneficial fungus that supports nutrient uptake, promotes plant growth, and enhances resistance to pests and environmental stress. By restoring biological balance, it improves soil health and helps plants thrive in pest-prone areas.
Micro Army LEC - Benefits
Mode of Action
- Spore Adhesion: Spores of Verticillium lecanii land on and adhere to the cuticle of the insect.
- Germination: Conidia (spores) germinate on the cuticle, forming elongated germ tubes.
- Enzyme Secretion: The fungus releases enzymes (proteases, aminopeptidases, lipases, esterases, and chitinases) that digest the cuticle, allowing the germ tube to penetrate.
- Hyphal Growth: The germ tube develops into hyphae, which grow and colonize the insect's body.
- Insect Mortality: Hyphal growth causes physical pressure within the insect, along with toxicity from secreted enzymes, leading to the insect's death.
