Myco-insecticides

Myco-insecticides are natural pest control products derived from fungi that specifically target insects. These fungi infect and kill pests like mosquitoes, beetles, and caterpillars by attaching to their bodies, penetrating their exoskeletons, and multiplying inside, which eventually causes the insects to die. Because they are naturally occurring and species-specific, myco-insecticides are environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides, reducing harm to other wildlife, humans, and beneficial insects. They are used in agriculture and public health to manage pest populations sustainably and with minimal ecological impact.
