Mode of Action

Ampelomyces quisqualis is a hyperparasite that penetrates the pathogen and infects it by forming pycnidia (fruiting bodies) within the powdery mildew hyphae, conidiophores, and cleistothecia. It grows inside the target, causing degradation of the cytoplasm, leading to the collapse of hyphal strands and death.
