Defoliators feed on the leaves of Plants and trees. Defoliation may cause loss of most or all of the foliage, and thus stunt the growth. Besides the direct damage associated with defoliating insects, the physiological stress on the plant/tree that these insects cause can predispose the plant/tree to attack by other insects and diseases.
Zaena s Defoliator controller is an entomopathogenic fungus. The spores of this fungus when come in contact with the skin of target insects, they germinate and grow directly through the skin to the inner body of their host. The fungus proliferates throughout the insect s body, draining the insect of nutrients, and eventually killing it in around 3 days.
