Verticillium Lecanii for Vegetables & Paddy – Control Aphids, Thrips, Whiteflies & Plant Hoppers
Share
Your vegetables – brinjal, tomato, chilli, okra, beans – are under attack. Curling leaves, sticky honeydew, tiny insects on the undersides – that’s aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and jassids. These pests weaken plants, reduce yield, and spread viral diseases. In paddy, white‑backed plant hoppers and leafhoppers cause “hopper burn” – yellowing and drying of plants.
Verticillium lecanii is your organic weapon.
What KAU recommends:
The Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) recommends spraying Lecanicillium lecanii (synonym Verticillium) for whitefly and thrips management in vegetables.
How to apply 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 protect seedlings):
-
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
-
Spray on both sides of leaves, especially the underside
-
Apply every 10‑15 days during active infestation
How to apply Verticillium for paddy:
Seed treatment (most effective):
-
Take 100g of Bactostore’s Verticillium powder (or 100 ml liquid)
-
Mix with enough water to coat 10 kg of paddy seeds
-
Shade dry for 30 minutes, then sow
Soil application (for fields with history of hopper infestation):
-
Mix 1‑2 kg of powder with 100‑200 kg FYM per acre
-
Broadcast during the last ploughing and incorporate into soil
Results: Cleaner leaves, healthier plants, higher yields, and organic, residue‑free produce.
