Buy Beauveria Bassiana for Vegetables and Paddy – Integrated Pest Management for Leaf Miners, Fruit Borers and Plant Hoppers
Share
Malappuram’s vegetable and paddy farmers face multiple pest challenges. In vegetables, leaf miners create tunnels in leaves, fruit borers bore into tomatoes, brinjals, and chillies, diamondback moth destroys cabbage and cauliflower, and sucking pests weaken plants. In paddy, brown plant hoppers cause “hopper burn,” leaf rollers fold and feed on leaves. Chemical pesticides require multiple products, harm beneficial insects, and pests develop resistance.
Beauveria bassiana is your broad‑spectrum organic solution for IPM.
How Beauveria works on vegetable and paddy pests:
-
Leaf miners: Spores infect larvae inside leaf mines when sprayed on leaves.
-
Fruit borers: Spores infect eggs and young larvae on fruits and shoots.
-
Diamondback moth: Effective against larvae on cabbage leaves.
-
Plant hoppers: Spores infect hoppers on lower plant parts.
How to apply Beauveria for vegetables:
Foliar spray for leaf miners, fruit borers, diamondback moth, aphids, thrips:
-
For liquid: Mix 2‑5 ml in 1 litre of water
-
For powder: Mix 5‑10g in 1 litre of water, add a little jaggery for adhesion
-
Spray on both sides of leaves, covering stems, fruits, and undersides
-
Apply every 10‑15 days during active pest infestation
-
For fruit borers, start spraying at flowering stage
Seed treatment (for early protection):
-
Mix 5‑10g of Beauveria powder per kg of seeds with enough water to coat
-
Shade dry for 30 minutes, then sow
Nursery bed drench:
-
Mix 5g of powder (or 5 ml liquid) in 1 litre of water
-
Drench nursery bed soil before sowing to protect seedlings
How to apply Beauveria for paddy:
Seed treatment (most effective for paddy):
-
Take 100g of Bactostore’s Beauveria 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
Foliar spray for brown plant hoppers and leafhoppers:
-
Mix 2‑5 ml of Beauveria liquid per litre of water (or 5‑10g powder)
-
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
Soil application for fields with history of pest infestation:
-
Mix 1‑2 kg of Beauveria powder with 100‑200 kg FYM per acre
-
Broadcast during the last ploughing and incorporate into soil
Integrated approach: Combine Beauveria with neem oil (test compatibility first) and pheromone traps for fruit borers. Rotate with other biocontrol agents like Metarhizium for hoppers.
