Beauvaria bassiana, the active ingredient in Principle WP, is a live fungus that has been used in biocontrol for decades with success in insect control. When the fungal spores contact a host insect, they infect the pest with white muscardine disease. This sporulation colonizes the pest and leads to death in 24-96 hours. (Under appropriate conditions)
