Technical Information

This tri-fungal consortium combines entomopathogenic fungi (Verticillium lecanii, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae) for broad-spectrum insect pest control. The synergistic action targets diverse insect orders through cuticle degradation, internal parasitism, and mycosis. Formulated at 2 × 10⁸ CFU/g,  (combined) on a talc carrier, it provides multi-modal pest suppression with extended field persistence.

Product Specifications

Total CFU: 6 × 10⁸ CFU/g, (combined viable spores)

  • V. lecanii: 2 × 10⁸ CFU/g,
  • B. bassiana: 2 × 10⁸ CFU/g,
  • M. anisopliae: 2 × 10⁸ CFU/g,

Active Content: Consortium spores/mycelium

Carrier: Talc powder (optimized pH 6.5–7.0 for all fungi)

  • Usage Instructions

Dosage: 750 g–1 kg/acre in 200 L water.

  1. Timing: Apply at 60–80% RH; dusk/dawn preferred.
  2. Target Pests:

Sucking pests: Bemisia tabaci (whitefly), Aphis gossypii (aphid), Planococcus citri (mealybug)

Boring pests: Helicoverpa armigera (bollworm), Leucinodes orbonalis (fruit borer)

Soil pests: Holotrichia consanguinea (white grub), Odontotermes obesus (termite)

  1. Method: Spray foliage + soil drench; ensure pest contact.
  2. Frequency: Apply every 10 days during outbreaks; reapply post-rainfall.
  3. Compatibility: Do not mix with fungicides; compatible with neem oil/entomopathogenic nematodes.
  4. Activation: Requires >75% humidity for 8+ hours; irrigate pre-application in dry conditions.
  5. Safety: Non-toxic to plants, pollinators (Apis mellifera), and predators (Chrysoperla carnea).

Suitable Crops

  • Vegetables: Tomato (vs. Bemisia + Helicoverpa), Brinjal (vs. Leucinodes + aphids)
  • Fruits: Citrus (vs. mealybugs + scales), Grapes (vs. thrips + stem borers)
  • Field Crops: Cotton (vs. bollworm + whitefly), Sugarcane (vs. termites + borers)
  • Plantations: Coconut (vs. Rhinoceros beetle), Oil palm (vs. nettle caterpillars)

Storage Instructions

  • Temperature: 4–15°C (critical for consortium stability; avoid >25°C).
  • Packaging: PP Bags
  • Shelf Life: 24 months (test viability quarterly).
  • Precautions: Avoid repeated opening; store away from chemical contaminants.

Key Advantage

  • Cross-Order Synergy:
  • V. lecanii: Suppresses aphids/whiteflies (>90% mortality in 72 hrs)
  • B. bassiana: Controls lepidopteran larvae (Cry toxin synergy)
  • M. anisopliae: Eliminates soil-dwelling coleopterans
    Resistance-proof: Overcomes pest tolerance to single-strain bio-agents.
