Chilli (Capsicum annuum) is an important vegetable and spice crop cultivated in Byadagi, Haveri, Dharwad, Gadag, Ballari and Raichur. Sucking insect pests such as thrips, whiteflies and aphids can affect chilli crop development and quality.

Verticillium lecanii, commonly associated with the updated name Lecanicillium lecanii, is an entomopathogenic fungus used in biological pest-management programs against susceptible insects.

Benefits of Verticillium lecanii for Chilli Farmers

Verticillium lecanii produces fungal spores that can infect susceptible insects through their outer cuticle under favorable environmental conditions.

Suitable strains may contribute to biological suppression of certain sucking pests and complement integrated pest management programs. Performance depends on pest species, fungal strain, humidity, temperature and spray coverage.

Application of Verticillium lecanii in Chilli Cultivation

Registered Verticillium lecanii formulations may be applied as foliar sprays against approved target pests according to product label instructions.

Good coverage of infested plant surfaces is important. Biological applications should be combined with regular pest scouting, appropriate irrigation, field sanitation and conservation of beneficial insects.
