Beauveria bassiana 1.15% WP

Beauveria bassiana is a fungus which causes a disease known as the white muscadine disease in insects. When spores of this fungus come in contact with the skin of susceptible insects, they penetrate and grow directly through the skin to the inner body of their host. Afterwards, a white mold emerges from the cadaver and produces new spores. A typical isolate of B. bassiana can attack a broad range of insects; various isolates differ in their host range. The factors responsible for host susceptibility are not known Beauveria bassiana can be used as a biological insecticide to control a number of pests such as termites, whiteflies, and many other insects. As an insecticide, the spores are sprayed on affected crops as an emulsified suspension or wettable powder

Benefits

• Ruchi BBC is used for effective control of spodoptera and, helicoverpa caterpillars, whitefly, mealybugs on vegetables, fruits, berries, herbs and spices & Ornamentals.
• It is eco-friendly and helps to maintain the ecological balance.

  Mode of Action

• When Beauveria bassiana spores of the fungus come in contact with the cuticle (skin) of susceptible insects, they germinate and grow directly through the cuticle to the inner body of their host.
• The fungus by taking nutrients from the insect proliferates and colonize the entire insect and thus drains the insect of nutrients and the infected insects eventually dies

APPLICATION:

Foliar spray : 2.5 kg / hectare in 500 litres of water i.e., 5 gm per litre of water. The spray volume depends on the crop canopy.

Drip system : 5 -  8 gm / litre of water. The resultant solution should be filtered before injecting into the drip system.
