Katyayani Metarhizium Anisopliae Bio Insecticide
Overview: Katyayani Metarhizium Anisopliae is a biological insecticide formulated as a liquid containing a high concentration of live Metarhizium Anisopliae fungus. Upon application to soil or plant surfaces, it contacts and infiltrates insects, leading to their death. This bio-insecticide is a safe and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical options, making it suitable for use around humans, animals, and the ecosystem.
Target Pests: Weevils, Black vine weevil, Spittlebug, White grubs, Termites, japanese beetle, Caterpillar, Semi loppers, Borers, Cutworm
Target Crops: Paddy, Brinjal, Chickpea, Potato, Tomato, Chilli, Okra, Coconut, Cotton, Maize, Wheat, Sugarcane, Groundnuts, Soybean, Coffee, Tea, Cocoa, Oil palm, Mango, Papaya, Citrus, Other agricultural and plantation crops
Mode of Action: When Metarhizium Anisopliae spores come into contact with an insect, they germinate and penetrate the insect’s cuticle. The fungus then grows inside the insect, producing toxins that ultimately cause its death. The dead insect’s body is typically covered in white mold, indicating the presence of the fungus.
