Mode of Action

Beauveria bassiana conidia present in Daman produce enzymes that penetrate the insect's skin. Once inside, the fungus releases toxins such as Beauvericin and Oosporin, weakening the host’s immune system. The fungal mass eventually fills the insect body cavity, leading to symptoms like restlessness, cessation of feeding, and loss of coordination before death.
