MET ZONE

Granular insecticide for organic control grub, cutworm, wireworm

MET Zone is a granular insecticidethat contains spores of the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae on a grain matrix. It provides farmers with a new tool for biological controlling surface and soil insects, including white grubs, root weevils, ticks, cutworm and wireworm. When applied to the growing medium, the fungus penetrates the exoskeleton of pests that come into contact with it and grows rapidly inside the bugs, causing its death within 3-5 days. Where buy the best granular insecticide, Novobac is your reliable supplier for organic grub killer and organic cutworm control.

Target Insect

• Grub  • Weevil
• Thrips • Cutworm
• Ticks • Wireworm
• Mole Cricket • Termites

Mode of Action

• Infects garden and plant insects at all stages of their life cycle, including eggs, larvae, pupae, nymphs, and adults. The conidial spores enter the host through the pores of its sense organs and begin germinating. They produce a swelling in the germ tube and derive nutrition from the host. The fungus then produces lateral extensions of hyphae inside the pest’s body, which feed on the internal contents of the pest.
• Produces secondary metabolites that help it overcome the host’s defenses. After consuming the internal contents, the fungus breaks out of the insect, causing it to appear fuzzy.
• Infects garden and plant insects on contact and does not need to be consumed by the host to cause infection. In the presence of moisture and target pests, Metarhizium anisopliae begins multiplying and pathogenizing in colonies, as the infection spreads from one to another. Therefore, it is used for long-term organic cutworm control.
