Buy Verticillium Lecanii Bio-Insecticide for Pulses in Chhattisgarh – Control Aphids, Jassids and Pod Borers (Indirect)

Chickpea, pigeon pea, black gram, and green gram are important pulses in Chhattisgarh. But aphids and jassids cause stunting and virus transmission, while pod borers (Helicoverpa armigera in chickpea, Maruca vitrata in pigeon pea) burrow into pods and destroy seeds. Chemical pesticides are expensive, harm natural enemies, and borers develop resistance.

Verticillium lecanii bio-insecticide offers dual action – controlling both sucking pests and young pod borer larvae.

Application methods for pulses (per acre):

Seed treatment:

• Mix 5‑10g of Bactostore’s Verticillium powder per kg of seeds with enough water to coat

• Shade dry for 30 minutes, then sow immediately

• This protects seedlings from early aphid and jassid attack.

Foliar spray for aphids and jassids:

• Mix 2‑5 ml of Verticillium liquid (or 5‑10g powder) in 1 litre of water

• Spray on both sides of leaves, paying attention to tender shoots and undersides

• Apply every 10‑15 days during vegetative growth

Pod borer control (spray at flowering and pod formation):

• Start spraying at 50% flowering stage

• Mix 2‑5 ml of Verticillium liquid (or 5‑10g powder) in 1 litre of water

• Spray thoroughly on flowers, pods, and foliage

• Repeat every 10‑15 days until pod maturity

• Verticillium infects young borer larvae on contact, before they bore into pods

Why this works: While Verticillium is primarily a sucking pest control agent, research shows it also infects lepidopteran larvae (including Helicoverpa) on contact. Combined with its effectiveness against aphids and jassids, it provides broad‑spectrum protection for pulses.
