Mode of Action of AGSO Bio Lecanii
 
Spore Attachment & Germination : After application, Lecanii spores come in contact with the insect body (Aphids
, whiteflies
, thrips
, mealybugs
, scale insects
, Spider mites
, Plant Hopper
, Leaf Hoppers ), spores germinate within 12–24 hours.
Cuticle Penetration (Enzymatic Action) : The germinated spore produces infection structures that penetrate the insect body.
Internal Colonization & Nutrient Depletion : The fungus multiplies rapidly as hyphal bodies, it consumes insect nutrients, disrupting Circulatory system, Nervous system, Respiratory functions, Leads to paralysis, reduced feeding, and lethargy.
Toxin Production & Insect Death : AGSO lecanii produces secondary metabolites and mycotoxins that Suppress the insect immune response, cause cell damage and physiological imbalance and accelerate insect mortality. Death usually occurs within 3–5 days depending on pest size and environmental conditions.
External Sporulation & Secondary Spread : After insect death, White fungal growth emerges from the insect body, New spores are released into the environment, enabling secondary infection of nearby pests and This provides long-lasting pest suppression in the crop ecosystem.
Dosage & Method of Application
Seed Treatment (Preventive Use) : Mix 1Kg of AGSO LECANII with seeds required for 1 Acre (Approx25-40 Kg). Allow seeds to dry in shade before Sowing, This Provides early protection against soil pests.
Seedling Root Dip / Nursery Treatment : Mix 10 gm of AGSO LECANII with 1L of water. Dip the seedling for 10-20 minutes before transplanting.
Foliar Spray (Field Crops) : Mix 1Kg AGSO LECANII with 150 to 200 Liter of water for one acer. Spray thorough coverage on both leaf sides (dense spray). 7-10 day intervals.
 
Foliar Spray (Vegetables) : Mix 1Kg AGSO LECANII with 150 to 200 Liter of water for one acer. Spray thorough coverage on both leaf sides (dense spray). 5-7 day intervals.
 
Soil Application (Supplementary Method) : Soil Application: Mix 2Kg of AGSO LECANII with 100 Kg compost or organic manure, broadcast or apply near the root zone.
Drip Irrigation / Drenching : Mix 2Kg of AGSO LECANII with 200L of water. Drip irrigation 1 acre of land.
 
Greenhouse Application: Mix 2Kg of AGSO LECANII with 100 Kg compost or organic manure, broadcast or apply near the root zone.
Gardeners and small scale farmers : 10 gm of AGSO LECANII with 1L of water. Hand sprayer / watering can apply weekly during growing season for prevention.
Application Tips for Maximum Effectiveness
Timing: Apply early in the morning or late afternoon when temperatures are moderate.
Coverage:Â Ensure thorough coverage of all plant surfaces, especially the undersides of leaves where many pests hide.
Weather Conditions:Â Avoid application during hot, dry conditions or when rain is expected within 4-6 hours.
Early Intervention:Â Begin applications at the first sign of pest presence for preventative control.
Repeat Applications:Â For heavy infestations, make 2-3 consecutive applications at 5-7 day intervals.
