Evaluation of environmental influences on the effect of ATTRACAP®, a biological soil insecticide for wireworm control, and subsequent stabilization of the efficiency

ATTRACAP®, an insecticide containing the active ingredient Metarhizium brunneum Cb15-III against wireworms in potatoes, achieves efficacies of 30-70%. The aim of this project is to stabilize the efficacy by cold adaptation of the fungus for faster growth at low temperatures and by co-formulation of additional active ingredients.
