Buy Metarhizium Anisopliae for Rubber – Control White Grubs and Termites in Plantations

Rubber is a major plantation crop in Malappuram, especially in the Nilambur belt. But soil pests – white grubs and termites – are a serious threat. White grubs feed on the fine feeder roots of rubber trees, causing slow decline, yellowing, and reduced latex yield. Termites attack roots and the base of the trunk, leading to sudden collapse of young trees and weakening of mature trees. Chemical control is difficult and harmful to soil health.

Metarhizium anisopliae is your organic solution for rubber soil pests.

How Metarhizium works: The fungus spores are mixed with organic manure and applied to the soil. When white grubs or termites come into contact, the fungus germinates, penetrates the cuticle, and kills them within 3‑7 days. The green spores produced on dead pests remain in the soil, providing long‑term suppression.

How to apply Metarhizium on rubber:

For mature rubber trees (soil application for white grubs and termites):

  • Take 200‑250g of Bactostore’s Metarhizium powder per tree

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

  • Apply in a 1.5‑2 metre basin around the tree, 30‑40 cm from the trunk

  • Cover lightly with soil

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

For termite control (soil drench):

  • Mix 1‑2 litres of Metarhizium liquid in 200 litres of water

  • Drench the solution around the root zone of affected trees (10‑15 litres per tree)

  • Repeat after 15‑20 days if termite activity persists

For rubber nurseries:

  • Mix 100g of Metarhizium powder with 10 kg of FYM per 100 sq. m. of nursery bed

  • Incorporate into the soil before planting budded stumps

  • For root dip of stumps before planting: mix 10g powder in 1 litre of water and dip roots for 10 minutes

Why this works for your rubber plantation: Metarhizium specifically targets soil pests, is safe for earthworms and beneficial soil organisms, leaves zero residues, and reduces dependency on chemical soil insecticides.
