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

Palakkad’s paddy fields – the rice bowl of Kerala – face multiple pest threats: brown plant hoppers and leafhoppers cause “hopper burn” (yellowing and drying of plants), while root grubs feed on roots, reducing tillering and yield. Chemical pesticides are expensive, harm natural predators, and pests develop resistance quickly.

Metarhizium anisopliae bio-insecticide is your organic, broad‑spectrum solution for paddy pests.

How to apply Metarhizium bio-insecticide for paddy (per acre):

Seed treatment (most effective preventive 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 root grub damage and establishes the fungus in the root zone.

Soil application (for fields with history of hopper or grub 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 root grubs and termites while also helping suppress hoppers.

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

  • 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: Metarhizium thrives in the humid conditions of paddy fields. The seed treatment ensures early colonisation, while soil and foliar applications target pests at different life stages.
