LALGUARD M52 OD 1 liter bottle is composed of spores of the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum (formerly known as Metarhizium anisopliae).
Once the product is sprayed onto foliage or drenched into the soil, insects that come into contact with the fungus will become infected. The spores of Metarhizium brunneum attach to the surface of the insect, germinate and begin to grow. It will penetrate the exoskeleton of the insect and grow inside the insect, causing the insect to die.
Under moderate temperatures it usually takes 3 to 7 days once the insect is exposed for death to occur. At very cold or hot temperatures death may occur more slowly. The fungal spores will be more persistent when incorporated in the soil, especially in potting media, than when applied to foliage.
LALGUARD M52 OD contains live spores that may be harmed by storage at high temperatures or held as a water suspension for more than 24 hours. 12 month shelf-life in a dry and cool place (under 68ºF) or 18 months at 40ºF. 4 hour REI drench, dip and foliar applications, 0 hour REI soil incorporated.
