Kills soft-bodied pests in 3 to 7 days by growing through the insect’s outer shell.
No residue and no waiting period. Can be sprayed up to the day of harvest.
Works as a foliar spray, a soil drench and through drip. Available in 1 L, 3 L, 5 L and 10 L.
About Product (Katyayani Bhasam Beauveria Bassiana Bio Insecticide)
Katyayani Bhasam (Beauveria bassiana 2×10⁸ CFU/ml) is a liquid bio insecticide, a living fungus and not a chemical.
It kills by contact, not by being eaten, so it reaches sucking pests that stomach-poison insecticides never touch.
Effective against aphids, whiteflies, thrips, jassids, mealybugs, caterpillars, white grubs and termites.
Suitable for cotton, chilli, tomato, brinjal, okra, cabbage, groundnut, mango, banana and vegetables.
Leaves no residue and has no waiting period, so it can be sprayed right up to harvest.
Technical Details:
Technical Content: Beauveria bassiana 2×10⁸ CFU/ml
Mode of Entry: Contact
Mode of Action: Cuticle penetration, then systemic infection inside the insect
Formulation: Liquid suspension
How It Works (Mode of Action)
Spores stick to the insect’s outer skin within 2 hours of the spray landing on it.
They germinate in 20 to 24 hours, then drill through the cuticle using protease, chitinase and lipase enzymes.
Inside the body the fungus multiplies and releases beauvericin and oosporein, which shut down the insect’s nerves and immune system.
The insect stops feeding and dies in 3 to 7 days. Hard-bodied pests and soil grubs take 2 to 4 weeks.
The dead insect turns hard and white. This is white muscardine, and it confirms the spray worked.
Live insects the morning after spraying are normal. The fungus needs three days to reach the insect’s blood.
Method of Application
Foliar spray: 5 ml per litre of water, which is 75 ml per 15-litre pump.
Water volume: 150 to 200 litres per acre. Total 750 ml to 1 litre per acre.
Soil drench or drip: 750 ml to 1 litre per acre applied to the root zone, for white grub and termite.
Repeat every 7 to 10 days, 2 to 3 sprays.
Wet the undersides of the leaves. Nymphs sit there.
Spray in the late afternoon or evening only. Direct sunlight kills the spores in 15 minutes.
Use the prepared spray the same day. Do not store diluted solution.
Do not mix with fungicides. Carbendazim and mancozeb kill this product in the tank. Keep 5 to 7 days between a fungicide spray and this one.
When to Spray (Pest Stage and Threshold)
Spray at first appearance, not at heavy infestation. The fungus needs 3 to 7 days, so a late spray costs a week of damage.
Cotton whitefly: at 5 to 10 per leaf.
Cotton jassid: at more than 2 per leaf with leaf crinkling.
Cotton thrips: at more than 10 per leaf, or when silvering appears.
Caterpillars (Spodoptera, Helicoverpa): at egg hatch to 2nd instar. Late spraying halves the result.
Mealybug: at crawler stage, before the wax coat forms.
White grub: soil drench at egg-lay, before roots are cut.
For chilli, tomato and vegetables, follow the 2 defenders to 1 pest rule. If natural enemies are ahead, do not spray.
Target Pests and Which Stage It Kills:
Pest
Best stage to target
Result
Whitefly
Nymph
36 to 70% on nymphs, only 2 to 19% on eggs
Thrips
Adult
96% in 4 days
Aphid
Nymph and adult
Fastest kill, 3 to 4 days
Caterpillar
1st to 2nd instar
94.5% on 1st instar, 56.6% on 5th instar
Mealybug
Crawler
Wax on adults blocks the spore
White grub
Larva in soil
2 to 4 weeks, soil application only
Jassid
Nymph
Nymphs before adults
• Not recommended for mites. Beauveria kills adult mites but not their eggs, so the population comes back.
Key Features & Benefits of Beauveria Bassiana
• Kills on contact, so it reaches sucking pests that never chew a leaf.
• No resistance build-up, because it attacks physically and with several toxins at once.
• Zero residue and no waiting period. Suitable for export produce and organic certification.
• Safe for pollinators, parasitoids and predators at label rate.
• Works both on the crop and in the soil from the same bottle.
• Approved for organic farming.
