Metarhizium Anisopliae powder 25 Kg Drum

Product Name:

Metarhizium anisopliae BioInsect - Broad-Spectrum Insect Pathogenic Fungus

Cfu Cells/Gram:

Minimum 2 x 10⁸ (200 Million) viable spores per gram | High virulence, oil-based formulation compatible.

Base:

Available in specialized formulations for enhanced adhesion and efficacy:

• Wettable Powder (WP): For standard foliar and soil spray.

• Dextrose Powder / Water Soluble Powder (WS): For fertigation and foliar spray.

Benefits:

• Broad-Spectrum Insect Control: Infects and kills a wide range of insect pests including Whiteflies, Thrips, Mealybugs, Aphids, Leafhoppers, Beetles, and Locusts through direct cuticle penetration.

• Natural & Virulent Pathogen: Spores germinate on the insect cuticle, penetrate internally, and proliferate, causing mortality within 3-7 days.

• Safe for Beneficial Insects: Highly specific to target pests; does not harm pollinators, predatory insects, or soil beneficials when used as directed.

• Resistance Management Tool: Effective against pests resistant to chemical insecticides, ideal for IPM and IRM (Insecticide Resistance Management) programs.

• Zero Residue & Organic Certified: Leaves no chemical residues, safe for the environment, and approved for organic farming.

Suggested For Crops:

Effective against sap-sucking and chewing pests in:

• Vegetables: Tomato, Chilli, Brinjal, Cucurbits, Okra

• Fruits: Citrus, Mango, Grapes, Pomegranate

• Field Crops: Cotton, Sugarcane, Rice

• Ornamentals & Nurseries

• Turf & Forestry (for grub and beetle control)

Spray Dosage:

• Foliar Spray: Mix 2.0 - 3.0 grams of WP/OD powder per liter of water (add a natural sticker/spreader for WP).

• Dosage per Acre: Use 800 grams - 1.2 kg of product per acre in 200-400 liters of water, ensuring thorough coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces.

• Application Timing: Spray in the evening or early morning under high humidity conditions (>80% RH) for optimal spore germination.

Soil Application Dosage:

• Soil Treatment for Grubs/Soil Pests: Apply 1.0 - 1.5 kg of WP powder per acre, mixed with 50-100 kg of moist sand or vermicompost, and broadcast evenly. Light irrigation after application is recommended.

• Drench for Nursery/Protected Crops: Use 5 grams per liter as a soil drench for seedling protection.

Note:

• Critical Requirement: High humidity (≥80% for 8-10 hours post-application) is essential for spore germination and infection. Ideal for irrigated crops, protected cultivation, or seasonal high-humidity periods.

• Compatibility: Do not mix with chemical fungicides. Can be combined with other bio-insecticides (like Bt) or natural oils for enhanced efficacy.

• Storage: Refrigerate (4-8°C) for long-term stability. Keep sealed in a cool, dry place.

• Best Results: Apply preventively or at early pest infestation stages. Repeat after 7-10 days if needed.
