Metarhizium anisopliae 1 Litre / 1 kg Price & Where to Buy in Idukki – Bactostore

Here is the complete price list for Bactostore's Metarhizium anisopliae – no tables, just clear descriptions.

Liquid Metarhizium anisopliae (ready to use for foliar spray, drip, or drench):

  • 1 litre bottle – price range ₹200 to ₹450, depending on concentration and CFU count. One litre, diluted in 200‑400 litres of water, covers 1‑2 acres as foliar spray.

  • 5 litre bottle – ₹900 to ₹2,000. Ideal for medium‑sized farms (5‑10 acres for multiple sprays).

  • 25 litre drum – ₹4,000 to ₹9,000. Best for large cardamom or pepper plantations (25‑50 acres).

Powder Metarhizium anisopliae (talc‑based, high spore count >2×10⁹ CFU/g):

  • 1 kg pack – ₹200 to ₹450. One kg, mixed with 200‑400 litres of water, covers 1‑2 acres as foliar spray. Alternatively, mix with 200 kg FYM for soil application covering 1‑2 acres.

  • For cardamom root grub control (KVK method): 1 kg of powder treats approximately 40 plants at the recommended 25g per plant (mixed with cow dung). For a 1‑hectare plantation (approximately 2,000‑2,500 plants), you would need 50‑60 kg of powder per application.

  • 5 kg bulk pack – ₹900 to ₹2,000. Enough for 5‑10 acres for multiple applications or for treating approximately 200 cardamom plants for root grub.

  • 10 kg pack – special order – call for price.

Special formulation for cardamom root grub control (as per KVK Idukki recommendation):

  • Bactostore offers a specific formulation for the 25g per plant method – just measure 25g (approximately one handful) per plant, mix with cow dung, and apply. No additional calculations needed.

Special combo (best value for Idukki farmers):

  • 1 kg powder + 1 litre liquid – only ₹500 (regular ₹600, save ₹100)

  • Use powder for soil application and for KVK‑recommended root grub control (25g per plant)

  • Use liquid for quick foliar sprays during active pest season

Spore count guarantee (what you are paying for):

  • Powder: >2×10⁹ CFU per gram

  • Bactostore tests every batch for spore viability – you get fresh, active product
