USE
INVICTUS is a microbiological insecticide formulated with a consortium of spores of three selected and exclusive strains of biological control agents Beauveria brongniartii BCC-405 and Beauveria bassiana BCC-411 & BCC-414.
INVICTUS is a product designed from strains of Beauveria spp. isolated from coffee borers (Hypothenemus hampei) in different coffee ecosystems of the north and southern Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, CA. These strains were characterized and selected for their high ecological plasticity and high pathogenicity and different degrees of aggressiveness over time.
It is a bioinsecticide with a contact mode of action. The consortium of strains of Beauveria spp., enhances its entomopathogenic activity in several stages: adhesion, formation of appressoria and invasion of the host until it causes death due to the action of a complex of toxins.
The host colonization process begins after penetration, the hyphae become thicker and branch within the tegument and hemocoel of the insect, forming blastospores.
ACTION MODE
ACTION MODE
The hyphae grow and invade various internal organs after the death of the host, they will subsequently emerge from the insect body and produce conidia that spread and infect other individuals.
B. bassiana and B. brongniartii, not only depend on insect infestation to spread, but also survive as saprophytic fungi as well as plant endophytes.
APPLICATION MODE
In soil-directed applications with backpack or tractor-driven spray equipment, it should be used at and around the base of the plant. It can also be applied by drip irrigation system or micro-sprinklers. In foliar applications with a backpack sprayer or aerial spray equipment powered by a tractor, always encouraging directing the application to the site where the pest is located.
