BIOGEN MetaGuard™ Metarhizium anisopliae Based Biological Insecticide (WP)
BIOGEN MetaGuard™ is a biological insecticide containing Metarhizium anisopliae, a naturally occurring entomopathogenic fungus that helps manage a wide range of soil and foliar insect pests. The fungal spores attach to the insect cuticle, germinate, and colonize the insect body, helping reduce pest populations naturally. It supports integrated pest management (IPM) programs and sustainable crop production.

Mode of Action
Metarhizium anisopliae spores attach to the insect surface, germinate, and penetrate the insect cuticle. The fungus proliferates within the insect body, leading to cessation of feeding and eventual death of the target pest. Under suitable conditions, the fungus sporulates on the insect cadaver, aiding natural spread within pest populations.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Label Claim
Helps manage soil-borne and foliar insect pests through biological action, supports sustainable crop protection, and contributes to improved crop health and productivity.
