Once the fungus has killed it's host, it grows back out through the softer portions of the cuticle, covering the insect with a layer of white mold (hence the name white Muscardine disease). This downy mold produces millions of new infective spores that are released to the environment.
A typical isolate of B. bassiana can attack a broad range of insects harmful to crop plants.
Beauveria bassiana can be used as a biological insecticide to control a number of pests such as termites, whitefly and many other insects. As an insecticide, the spores are sprayed on affected crops as wettable powder

Beauveria bassiana parasitizes a very wide range of arthropod hosts and so it should be considered a nonselective pesticide.

Attributes of Beauveria bassiana :
Beauveria bassiana, is a globally occurring soil borne mycelial fungus
1. This is an entomophagus fungi which when comes in contact with some host insects kills the same after colonizing the insect with its mycelium.
2. This fungi produces mycelium which parasitizes the host Insect causing white Muscardine disease.
3. Beauveria bassiana fungi produces a low molecular weight toxin, Beauvericin, that weakens the host's immune system
4. Beauveria bassiana, produces the antibiotic oosporein, on germination into the host insect tissue.
5. Beauveria bassiana produces degrading enzymes in the insect body system thereby completely killing the insect.
6. Once inside the insect body, the fungus replicates and consumes, the insects' internal organs and blood-like fluid, the hemolymph, ultimately killing the insect.
