TRAPS
BEAUVERIA BASSIANA
TRAPS-CAPS are encapsulated capsules containing the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana. When the spores come into contact with the target insect or by absorbing nutrients from the insect, they attach, germinate, and grow directly through the spiracles into the host’s inner body, causing a disease known as white muscardine disease, which eventually leads to the insect’s death.
