Why Palakkad Farmers Choose Bactostore Metarhizium Anisopliae Bio-Insecticide – Organic, CPCRI‑Proven & Broad‑Spectrum

Palakkad’s coconut, paddy, banana, pepper, arecanut, vegetable, groundnut, maize, and tapioca crops are valuable. Pesticide residues can reduce market value and harm soil health. Metarhizium anisopliae bio-insecticide is 100% organic – it leaves zero chemical residues on your produce.

What the research proves – CPCRI, Kerala: The CPCRI, Kasargod, has proven that the CPCRI strain of Metarhizium anisopliae controls all stages of the rhinoceros beetle – grub, pupa, and adults. It does not harm earthworms. On‑farm trials showed 100% mycosis of grubs after three weeks, and pest attack reduced from 85% to just 10% after six months.

KAU recommendation: The Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) recommends Metarhizium anisopliae for banana pseudostem weevil control, with sprays at 5, 6, and 7 months after planting.
