Buy Metarhizium Anisopliae Bio-Insecticide for Banana – Control Pseudostem Weevil and Root Weevil

Banana is a cash crop in Palakkad, but pseudostem weevil larvae bore into the pseudostem, causing tunnels, yellowing, and plant collapse. Root weevil larvae feed on the corm and roots, causing slow decline. Chemical controls are ineffective because larvae are inside the plant or deep in the soil.

Metarhizium anisopliae bio-insecticide is your organic solution.

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