Buy Metarhizium Anisopliae Bio-Insecticide for Paddy – Control Brown Plant Hoppers and Leafhoppers

Chhattisgarh's paddy fields – the rice bowl of Central India – face a serious threat from brown plant hoppers (BPH) and leafhoppers. These tiny insects suck sap from the base of rice plants, causing "hopper burn" – yellowing, drying, and collapse of patches. Chemical insecticides are expensive, harm natural predators like spiders and dragonflies, and hoppers develop resistance quickly.

Metarhizium anisopliae bio-insecticide is your organic, effective solution for hopper management.

How Metarhizium works on paddy hoppers: The fungus spores land on the hopper's body, germinate, penetrate the cuticle, and grow inside, killing the insect within 3‑7 days. The fungus thrives in the humid conditions of paddy fields.

Application methods for paddy (per acre):

Seed treatment (preventive – best method):

• 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

• This protects seedlings from early hopper attack.

Soil application (for fields with history of hopper outbreaks):

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

• Broadcast during the last ploughing and incorporate into soil

• This targets hopper eggs and nymphs in the soil.

Foliar spray for active hopper infestation:

• For liquid: Mix 2‑5 ml in 1 litre of water

• For powder: Mix 5‑10g in 1 litre of water, add 2 kg jaggery per acre as a food source

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

• Apply in early morning or late evening

• Repeat every 10‑15 days during hopper season

Why this works for Chhattisgarh paddy: Metarhizium is highly effective against BPH and leafhoppers. Combined with seed treatment and soil application, it provides season‑long suppression.
