Description
Bio-Insek is a bio insecticide safe for use on various crops like flowering cannabis. Parasitic fungi Beauvaria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae are the active ingredients. Found naturally in soils across South Africa and the world. Both are able to control a broad range of insects with a dry exoskeleton.

Once applied, the fungus spores attach to the body of the insect and germinate. The fungal growth then pierces the body of the insect, growing inside of it. A few days after infection, insects will die. The body of dead pests covered in fruiting fungi will release new spores, spreading to other insects.
