Green Guard (Metarhizium) | Metarhizium Anisopliae Powder for Natural Insect Control in Plants

Green Guard (Metarhizium anisopliae) is a highly effective biological insect control solution formulated using an entomopathogenic fungus that naturally controls a wide range of harmful insects affecting agricultural crops, garden plants, and ornamentals. It is an eco-friendly, non-poisonous alternative to chemical pesticides and plays a vital role in sustainable and organic farming practices.

This product is specially designed for farmers, gardeners, and horticulturists who want effective pest control without harming beneficial organisms, soil health, or the environment.

🌱 What is Metarhizium anisopliae?

Metarhizium anisopliae is a naturally occurring fungus that acts as a biological insecticide. When insect pests come into contact with the fungal spores, the spores attach to the insect’s cuticle, germinate, and penetrate the body. The fungus then multiplies inside the insect, leading to its death within 3 to 5 days.

Because this mode of action is biological and physical, insects cannot develop resistance to Metarhizium, making Green Guard a long-term and sustainable pest management solution.
