Kalichakra (Powder)

Kalichakra (Metarhizium anisopliae) is an eco-friendly biological insecticide. It can effectively control insects pests like white grub and root grub, loopers, cutworms, sucking pests, etc.

Highly effective to control egg, larvae, pupal, nymphal, stages of white grubs, beetles, cutworms, termites, and sucking pests like Pyrilla, Mealy bugs, and Aphids

It infects all the stages of insects including eggs, larvae, pupal, nymphal, and adult’s. The spores attach to insect skin, germinate and penetrate the insect body, and cause mortality by feeding on the insect, leakage of internal contents, and toxins such as dextrusion released by the fungus. The insect body ultimately gets covered with green mycelium and spores, which may get dispersed and cause subsequent infections.

Soil application- For soil insect pests like White Grubs, Agrotis species, etc. Mix 2 Kg of Kalichakra with 200 kg of well-decomposed fym/compost/field soil and broadcast in the field of 1 acre at the time of field preparation or in standing crop.
Foliar spray – It can be applied @ 2 Kg per acre ( 1L per acre) in 150-200 liters of water for sucking pest control. As a foliar spray apply uniformly over crop using a hand sprayer or power sprayer with an appropriate hollow cone nozzle for fine mist generation.

Important recommendation/direction for use
Application at the time of pest appearance. Repeat application after 7 days. A number of applications depend upon pest infestation.
