Metarhizium anisopliae for Groundnut Soil Pest Management in Karnataka | Biological White Grub Control, Biopesticide Manufacturer, Wholesale & Bulk Supplier India

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea), also known as peanut or moongphali, is an important oilseed crop cultivated across Chitradurga, Tumakuru, Ballari, Raichur, Koppal, Bagalkot, Vijayapura, Belagavi, Dharwad and other agricultural regions of Karnataka. Groundnut cultivation can be affected by soil-dwelling insect pests, particularly white grubs, which feed on underground plant parts and may cause yellowing, wilting, poor plant establishment and crop losses.

Metarhizium anisopliae is an entomopathogenic fungus used in biological insect pest management. Suitable strains can infect susceptible soil-dwelling insects through their outer body surface and help reduce pest populations under favorable environmental conditions. Metarhizium-based biopesticides can be incorporated into integrated white grub management programs for groundnut cultivation.

Metarhizium formulations may be applied to soil or incorporated with suitable organic carriers according to approved product label recommendations. Adequate soil moisture, suitable environmental conditions, correct pest identification and timely application are important for effective biological pest management. Metarhizium should be used alongside field monitoring and other integrated pest management practices rather than as a guaranteed stand-alone solution.
