Buy Beauveria Bassiana for Coconut – Control Rhinoceros Beetle, Leaf Roller, Termites & Whiteflies

Your coconut palms are the pride of Kozhikode. But a range of pests threatens your income every season. The rhinoceros beetle bores into the crown, causing characteristic V‑cut fronds and reducing nut yield by 25‑40% in severe infestations. The black headed caterpillar defoliates fronds, weakening the palm. The leaf roller rolls and damages leaves. Termites attack roots and stems, causing sudden collapse. Whiteflies and mealybugs suck sap, causing sooty mould. Chemical pesticides require multiple products and applications.

Beauveria bassiana is your one‑stop organic solution for coconut pests.

What the research says: The Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) Biocontrol Laboratory produces quality biopesticides based on Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, and Lecanicillium lecanii, and has identified an isolate (ITCC6063) effective against leaf rollers. Research studies have shown that B. bassiana isolates have significant potential as biocontrol agents for managing rhinoceros beetle in humid tropical ecosystems.

How to apply Beauveria on coconut:

For root grubs, termites, and rhinoceros beetle grubs (soil application):

  • Take 200‑250g of Bactostore's Beauveria powder per adult palm

  • Mix with 20‑25 kg of well‑decomposed FYM or cow dung

  • Apply in a 1.5‑2 metre basin around the palm, 15‑20 cm from the trunk

  • Cover lightly with soil

  • Apply twice a year – pre‑monsoon (April‑May) and post‑monsoon (September‑October)

For foliar pests (black headed caterpillar, leaf roller, whiteflies, mealybugs):

  • For liquid: Mix 2‑5 ml in 1 litre of water

  • For powder: Mix 5‑10g in 1 litre of water, add 2 kg jaggery per acre, let sit overnight

  • Spray thoroughly on both sides of fronds, especially the underside

  • Spray in early morning or late evening when humidity is high

  • Repeat every 15‑20 days during active infestation

For rhinoceros beetle breeding sites (manure pits):

  • Mix 500g of Beauveria powder with 50‑100 kg of FYM and place in manure pits where beetles breed

  • This kills beetle grubs in the breeding sites and reduces the next generation of adults
