Uses of the biological insecticide Metarhizium anisopliae

28/02/2025Posted on
Uses of the biological insecticide Metarhizium anisopliae

Metarhizium anisopliae is a fungus-based organic insecticide. It is found freely in the soil and it is commonly found as a parasite in insects. 

When the spores of Metarhizium anisopliae come in contact with the target insect, they attach to their covering and Spores germinate when there is proper temperature and humidity. Their germinal tubes enter the insect’s body through the respiratory holes (spiracles), sensory organs and other soft parts.

This fungus increases itself by absorbing the physical food substances of the insect by making a fungal trap in the entire body of the insect. Metarhizium anisopliae produces spores even at less than 50% moisture. Because of this it works in all circumstances.

Metarhizium anisopliae is used for the control of beetles, white grubs, termites, caterpillars, semi-loopers, cutworms, mealybugs and aphids.

Method of use:

  • For soil application, Metarhizium anisopliae at the rate of 1 kg per acre mixed with about 75 kg of farm yard manure and should be used at the time of last ploughing.

  • For pest control in standing crops spray 1 kg per acre in 400-500 litres of water.

Causes and diagnosis of fruit cracking in tomato crop

27/02/2025Posted on
Causes and diagnosis of fruit cracking in tomato crop

In tomato crops, fruit cracking is a physical disorder and it usually appears at the time of maturity. In this disorder, the fruits split in two ways, vertical and circular.

Fruit cracking in tomato crops is mainly due to two reasons, the first reason is irregular irrigation in the crop like the land that is dry for a long time and sudden heavy irrigation. And the second reason is the deficiency of a Boron micronutrient in the soil.

Diagnosis of fruit cracking: To avoid this problem, irrigate the crop in a balanced way from time to time. And for the boron nutrient supplements, spray Rich Bor (Boron 20%) @ 1-1.5 gm per litre of water or Rich Boramin-CA (Amino Acid, Boron, Calcium) @ 2-3 ml per litre of water.

Know the reasons and prevention measure for small fruits dropping in gourd crop

25/02/2025Posted on
Know the reasons and prevention measure for small fruits dropping in gourd crop

The farmers cultivating gourds often face the problem of small fruits turning yellow and drying up, and this causes a huge loss in yield.

Causes of small fruit drop:

  • Fruits start falling due to fungal diseases in plants.

  • This problem can also occur when there is an outbreak of pests in the crop.

  • Small gourd fruits start falling even if there is irregular irrigation or lack of irrigation in the crop.

  • Unbalanced use of fertilizers also results in fruit drop.

  • Small fruits start falling due to improper pollination.

Initial symptoms of small fruit drop:

In the initial stage, the flowers attached to the small fruits start drying up, and gradually the small fruits start turning yellow and brown in colour. And later the fruits dry up completely and fall off.

Preventions:

  • Inspect the crop from time to time.

  • Make proper arrangements for drainage in the field.

  • Do not use excessive irrigation and fertilizers.

  • If symptoms of fungal diseases or fruit flies and sucking insects appear, do proper spraying for control.
