Metarhizium anisopliae stands out as a distinctive biological insecticide with entomopathogenic attributes. This fungus induces muscardine disease in a wide spectrum of insects, including various bugs, weevils, and hoppers. Upon encountering a host's exoskeleton, Metarhizium anisopliae spores swiftly germinate and propagate within the insect. Inside the insect's body, toxin production commences, initiating degradation of proteins. The ensuing impact comprises chemical, mechanical, water, and nutrient-related effects, culminating in the insect's demise.
