Buy Metarhizium Bioinsecticide in Vijayawada – Natural Control for White Grubs, Termites & Borers

Buy Metarhizium Bioinsecticide in Vijayawada – Natural Control for White Grubs, Termites & Borers

For farmers across the Krishna delta, white grubs (Holotrichia spp.) and termites (Odontotermes spp.) remain two of the most destructive soil pests. In Andhra Pradesh, Holotrichia serrata is particularly devastating, causing severe damage to sugarcane, groundnut, and other commercial crops. The natural, residue‑free solution is Metarhizium anisopliae – a powerful entomopathogenic fungus that acts as a biological insecticide, targeting over 200 pest species without harming beneficial soil life or pollinators.

📋 How It Works – At a Glance



Mechanism What It Does
Spore Attachment Fungal spores adhere to the insect's cuticle upon contact
Cuticle Penetration Spores germinate and produce enzymes that break down the insect's outer shell
Internal Colonisation The fungus grows inside the pest's body, consuming tissues and releasing toxins
Rapid Mortality Infected pests stop feeding and die within 3‑7 days
Secondary Spread Fungus sporulates on the dead insect; fresh spores spread to neighbouring pests, amplifying control

Metarhizium is effective against eggs, larvae, pupae, nymphs and adults of target pests – and because its mechanism is biological, pests do not develop resistance against it.

🌟 Key Benefits at a Glance

  • ✅ Broad‑Spectrum Pest Control – Targets white grubs, termites, root grubs, leafhoppers, weevils, beetles, locusts, thrips, stem borers, cutworms, and caterpillars

  • ✅ Controls Resistant Pests – Effective against pests that have become resistant to chemical insecticides

  • ✅ Residue‑Free – Leaves no toxic residues on crops, safe for harvest

  • ✅ Safe for Beneficials – Non‑toxic to bees, earthworms, ladybugs and other beneficial insects when used as directed

  • ✅ Dual‑Soil & Foliar Action – Works both in the soil (against root‑dwelling pests) and on foliage (against sucking and chewing pests)

  • ✅ Ideal for IPM Programs – Perfect for organic farms and integrated pest management systems

📦 Application Quick‑Reference Table



Method Dosage (Liquid) Dosage (Powder) Instructions
Foliar spray (preventive) 2 litres / acre in 200 L water 800 g – 1.2 kg / acre in 200‑400 L water Spray in early morning or late evening when humidity is high
Foliar spray (heavy infestation) 3‑5 ml / litre of water 5‑10 g / litre of water Apply twice at 7‑10 day intervals; ensure thorough coverage of leaf undersides
Soil application (grubs) 4‑5 litres / acre with 200‑400 L water 1.0 – 1.5 kg / acre mixed with 50‑100 kg moist sand/vermicompost Broadcast evenly; light irrigation after application recommended
Drip irrigation / fertigation (WS powder only) 1‑2 litres / acre 1‑2 kg Water Soluble powder / acre Apply through drip system; dissolve completely first
Nursery drench 2‑5 ml / litre of water 5 g / litre of water Drench thoroughly around seedling roots
Seed treatment 10‑20 ml / kg seeds 20‑30 g / kg seeds Mix with water; coat seeds evenly; shade‑dry before sowing
Frequency Reapply every 10‑15 days during infestation; reapply after heavy rain Same Maintain population in root zone throughout crop cycle

Critical Application Tips:

  • Activation requirement: Metarhizium requires >80% humidity for 8‑10 hours after application for optimal spore germination. Apply during the rainy season, in the evening, or irrigate just before spraying.

  • Do not mix with chemical fungicides – maintain a gap of at least 15‑20 days.

  • Apply preventively – Best results are achieved when applied at early pest infestation stages, before populations explode.

  • Temperature sensitivity: Avoid applying when temperatures exceed 30 °C or fall below 15 °C.

  • Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

🌿 Why Vijayawada Farmers Need Metarhizium

  1. Targets the #1 pest in sugarcane – white grubs: In Andhra Pradesh, Holotrichia serrata is the predominant white grub species, causing significant damage to sugarcane and groundnut. Metarhizium is proven to suppress all species of white grubs through direct infection of grubs in the soil.

  2. Controls termites – a major threat in the Krishna delta: Termites (Odontotermes spp.) are another major pest in sugarcane and groundnut fields. Metarhizium infects termites through cuticle contact, and infected termites spread the fungus to the entire colony.

  3. Fights bollworm in cotton: Cotton (46,797+ hectares in Krishna district) faces constant pressure from Helicoverpa armigera (cotton bollworm). Metarhizium is highly effective against bollworms and other lepidopteran pests.

  4. Safe for the fragile delta ecosystem: The Krishna delta is an ecologically sensitive region. Metarhizium is non‑toxic, residue‑free, and safe for fish, shrimp and other aquatic life – perfect for farms near irrigation canals.

  5. Reduces chemical insecticide dependency: Metarhizium works through a fungal infection mechanism that pests cannot resist – making it effective even on pest populations that have become resistant to chemical insecticides.

  6. Cost‑effective: At ₹120‑₹2,000 per kg (bulk) or ₹2,000 per litre, Metarhizium is far more affordable than repeated chemical insecticide applications. A single Metarhizium application per acre costs ₹400‑₹1,200 while offering season‑long protection.
