Katyayani Organics
Bio/Organic Insecticide
Katyayani Metarhizium Anisopliae is a bio insecticide in powder form, containing a high concentration of live beneficial fungal spores. When applied to soil or foliage, it comes in contact with insects, penetrates their outer layer, and helps manage them naturally. It is a safer and eco-friendly alternative to conventional chemical treatments, making it ideal for sustainable farming.
Target Pests
Katyayani Metarhizium Anisopliae is effective against a variety of pests, including:
Brown planthoppers, termites, beetles, grubs, cutworms, root weevils, and various other larval-stage pests.
Target Crops
Suitable for a wide range of agricultural and plantation crops such as:
Paddy, brinjal, chickpea, potato, tomato, chilli, okra, coconut, cotton, maize, wheat, sugarcane, groundnut, soybean, coffee, tea, cocoa, oil palm, papaya, citrus, and more.
Mode of Action
When the spores of Metarhizium Anisopliae come into contact with an insect’s body, they germinate and penetrate the outer shell (cuticle). Inside the insect, the fungus multiplies and produces natural toxins, resulting in the insect’s death. The affected insect may develop a white fungal coating on the surface, which is a visible sign of fungal growth.
