Why Kozhikode Farmers Choose Bactostore Beauveria Bassiana – Organic, KAU‑Proven & Broad‑Spectrum

Kozhikode's coconut, banana, pepper, arecanut, vegetable, and paddy crops are valuable. Insect pests cause massive losses every year – from rhinoceros beetle and pseudostem weevil to thrips, plant hoppers, and fruit borers. Chemical pesticides require multiple products, are expensive, harm beneficial insects and soil health, and pests quickly develop resistance.

Beauveria bassiana is 100% organic – it leaves zero chemical residues on your produce.

What the research proves – KAU, Kerala: The Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) Biocontrol Laboratory at Vellayani produces quality biopesticides based on Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, and Lecanicillium lecanii, and has identified an isolate (ITCC6063) effective against rice leaf rollers and other pests. KAU's Agri Infotech Portal recommends drenching Beauveria bassiana (20g per litre of water) in basins for fruit fly management in vegetables. Another KAU facility at Ambalavayal lists Beauveria bassiana for control of berry borer in coffee (beetles), and sucking pests and lepidopteran pests of crops.

The NRCB contribution: The ICAR‑National Research Centre for Banana (NRCB) has developed Beauveria bassiana for biological control of banana weevils. The liquid formulation technology has been transferred to manufacturers, and the rice chaff grain formulation can be produced by self‑help groups. The infected weevils are able to contaminate other banana weevils and spread the disease.

Why Beauveria is better than chemical pesticides:



Feature Chemical Pesticides Beauveria bassiana
Residues on produce Yes – can affect export Zero residues – safe
Effect on soil health Kills beneficial organisms Improves soil biology
Pest resistance Develops quickly (2‑3 seasons) Very rare – fungi evolve faster
Waiting period before harvest 7‑30 days required None – spray up to harvest
Spectrum of control Narrow – need multiple products Broad – over 200 pests
Organic certification Not allowed Allowed and encouraged
