Buy Beauveria Bassiana for Coconut – Target Rhinoceros Beetle, Black Headed Caterpillar and Leaf Roller

Your coconut palms face multiple pest threats. The rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) bores into the crown, causing V‑cut fronds and reduced nut yield. Both grubs (in manure pits) and adults (on palms) cause damage. The black headed caterpillar (Opisina arenosella) defoliates fronds, weakening the palm. Leaf rollers roll and feed on leaves. Termites attack roots and stems. Chemical controls often miss the grubs hidden in manure or the caterpillars inside rolled leaves.

Beauveria bassiana targets all life stages – grubs, caterpillars, and adults.

How Beauveria works on coconut pests:

  • For grubs: Spores mixed with FYM in manure pits infect grubs that come into contact. The fungus kills them within days.

  • For caterpillars and leaf rollers: Spray on fronds. Spores infect larvae feeding on leaves.

  • For adult beetles: Spores attach to beetles when they visit infected breeding sites or sprayed fronds.

How to apply Beauveria on coconut:

For soil‑based pests (grubs and termites):

  • Take 200‑250g of Bactostore’s Beauveria powder per adult palm

  • Mix with 20‑25 kg of well‑decomposed FYM

  • Apply in a 1.5‑2 metre basin around the palm, 15‑20 cm from the trunk

  • Cover lightly with soil

  • Apply twice a year – pre‑monsoon and post‑monsoon

For rhinoceros beetle breeding sites (manure pits):

  • Mix 500g of Beauveria powder with 50‑100 kg of FYM and place in manure pits

  • This kills grubs in the breeding sites and reduces the next generation of adults

For foliar pests (black headed caterpillar, leaf roller):

  • Mix 2‑5 ml of Beauveria liquid (or 5‑10g powder) in 1 litre of water

  • Spray on both sides of fronds, covering the crown and leaf axils

  • Repeat every 15‑20 days during active infestation
