HOW TO USE GUIDE PDF

Verticillium lecanii is a dual-action entomopathogenic fungus used as a bio-insecticide and bio-fungicide. It parasitizes insect pests via cuticle penetration and suppresses fungal pathogens through mycoparasitism. Formulated at 2 × 10⁸ CFU/g on a talc carrier, it targets soft-bodied arthropods and powdery mildews in integrated pest management (IPM) systems.

Product Specifications

  • CFU: 2 × 10⁸ CFU/g
  • Active Content: Fungal spores and mycelium of Verticillium lecanii
  • Carrier: Talc powder (enhances adhesion and dispersion)

Usage Instructions

  • Dosage: 500 g–1 kg/acre in 200 L water for foliar/soil application.
  • Timing: Apply early morning/evening; avoid temperatures >30°C or <15°C.
  • Targets:

Insects: Aphis gossypii (cotton aphid), Bemisia tabaci (whitefly), Trialeurodes vaporariorum (greenhouse whitefly), Planococcus citri (citrus mealybug)

Fungi: Oidium spp. (powdery mildew), Sphaerotheca pannosa (rose powdery mildew)

  • Method: Spray foliage uniformly (underside focus for pests); drench soil for root-zone protection.
  • Frequency: Apply every 7–10 days during outbreaks; reapply after rain.
  • Compatibility: Do not mix with chemical fungicides; compatible with Bacillus thuringiensis.
  • Activation: Requires >85% humidity for 6–8 hours for spore germination.
  • Safety: Safe for plants, predators (Chrysoperla carnea), and pollinators.

Suitable Crops

  • Vegetables: Cucumber, tomato, pepper, beans (controls aphids/powdery mildew)
  • Fruits: Grapes, strawberries, citrus, apples (vs. whitefly/mildew)
  • Ornamentals: Roses, chrysanthemums (vs. Sphaerotheca pannosa)
  • Plantations: Coffee (vs. Planococcus citri), tea (vs. Oidium heveae)
  • Protected Cultivation: Greenhouses (high humidity enhances efficacy)

Storage Instructions

  • Temperature: 10–25°C (avoid freezing or >28°C).
  • Packaging: PP Bags
  • Shelf Life: 24 months from manufacture.
  • Precautions: Store away from moisture sources; do not expose to direct sunlight.

Key Advantage

Dual-Pest Suppression:
Simultaneously controls resistant sap-sucking insects (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1) and fungal pathogens (Podosphaera xanthii in cucurbits) through enzymatic degradation (chitinases/proteases) and mycelial overgrowth.
