Buy Metarhizium Anisopliae for Vegetables and Paddy – Control Root Grubs, Cutworms, Termites and Plant Hoppers

Kozhikode's vegetable and paddy farmers face constant pressure from soil and foliar pests. In vegetables, cutworms cut seedlings at the base overnight. Root grubs feed on roots, causing wilting. Termites attack stems. In paddy, brown plant hoppers and leafhoppers cause "hopper burn" – yellowing and drying of plants. Termites and root grubs also damage paddy roots.

Metarhizium anisopliae is your organic shield against these pests.

How Metarhizium works: The fungus produces microscopic spores that stay in the soil or on plant surfaces. When a pest comes into contact with these spores, they germinate, penetrate the pest's body, and grow inside, killing it within 3‑7 days. The green spores produced on the dead pest spread to other pests, creating a self‑perpetuating cycle of control.

How to apply Metarhizium for vegetables:

Soil application at land preparation (for whole field):

• Mix 1‑2 kg of Bactostore's Metarhizium powder (or 1‑2 litres liquid) with 100‑200 kg well‑decomposed FYM per acre

• Broadcast evenly during land preparation and incorporate into topsoil

Nursery bed drench (to protect seedlings from cutworms and grubs):

• Mix 5g of powder (or 5 ml liquid) in 1 litre of water

• Drench the nursery bed soil before sowing seeds

Root dip for seedlings (before transplanting):

• Mix 10g of powder (or 10 ml liquid) in 1 litre of water

• Dip the roots of seedlings for 10 minutes before transplanting

Soil drench for established plants (every 2‑3 months):

• Mix 100‑200g of powder (or 100‑200 ml liquid) in 10 litres of water

• Drench around the root zone of each plant (100‑200 ml per plant)

How to apply Metarhizium for paddy:

Seed treatment (most effective for paddy):

• Take 100g of Bactostore's Metarhizium powder (or 100 ml liquid)

• Mix with enough water to coat 10 kg of paddy seeds

• Stir evenly, shade dry for 30 minutes, then sow

Soil application (for fields with history of termite or grub infestation):

• Mix 1‑2 kg of Metarhizium powder with 100‑200 kg FYM per acre

• Broadcast during the last ploughing and incorporate into soil

For brown plant hoppers and leafhoppers during crop growth:

• Mix 2‑5 ml of Metarhizium liquid per litre of water (or 5‑10g powder)

• Spray on the lower parts of the plants where hoppers hide

• Apply in early morning or late evening

• Repeat every 10‑15 days

Results: Healthier roots, fewer plant losses, higher yields, and organic, residue‑free produce.
