Verticillium Lecanii for Vegetables – Control Aphids, Thrips, Whiteflies & Mealybugs

Your brinjals have curling leaves and sticky honeydew. Your chilli plants are covered in tiny black insects – aphids. Your tomatoes have whiteflies that fly up in a cloud when you touch the leaves. These sucking pests weaken your vegetables, reduce yield, and spread viral diseases.

Verticillium lecanii is your organic weapon.

The Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) recommends spraying Lecanicillium lecanii (synonym Verticillium lecanii) at 20g per litre of water for whitefly management. It is equally effective against aphids, thrips, jassids, and mealybugs.

How to use Verticillium for vegetables:

Seed treatment (before sowing):

• Mix 5‑10g of Bactostore’s Verticillium powder per kg of seeds with enough water to coat

• Shade dry for 30 minutes, then sow

Nursery bed drench (to prevent damping‑off and pest attacks):

• Mix 5g of powder (or 5 ml liquid) in 1 litre of water

• Drench the nursery bed soil before sowing

Root dip for seedlings (before transplanting):

• Mix 10g of powder (or 10 ml liquid) in 1 litre of water

• Dip seedling roots for 10 minutes before transplanting

Foliar spray for established plants:

• 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 better adhesion

• Spray thoroughly on both sides of leaves, especially the underside

• Apply every 10‑15 days during active pest infestation

Results you can expect:
Cleaner leaves, no sticky honeydew, healthier plants, higher yield, and organic, residue‑free vegetables that fetch a better price.
