Mode of Action

The fungus attaches to the external body surface of insects and larvae in the form of microscopic spores. Under the right conditions of temperature and humidity, these spores germinate, grow as hyphae and colonize the insect’s cuticle; eventually they bore through it and reach the insects’ body cavity. After some time, the insect is killed. After death occurs, the fungus proceeds to grow off the host producing a “white bloom” effect. The insect is covered by a white to yellowish cottony/mealy mold layer. The conidia spores are then released into the environment and a new life cycle begins ensuring constant control of the target pests.

Mode of Application

Amount of Bio Consortium required per acre will depend on the water use per acre as well as the degree of infestation due to the particular pests. The general recommendation is 200 liters of water. It is left to stand for 24 hours for better activation and microbial growth. It is then used to apply as a foliar treatment over the crop Normally 2 rounds of treatment are sufficient. If the Economic Threshold Levels (ETL) is more than 5% then the third round will be required.

KATYAYANI TRIPLE ATTACK is recommended for control of Mealy bugs, Heliothis, Caterpillars, Beetles, Sucking pests, Root Weevils, Plant Hoppers, Japanese Beetle, Black Vine Weevil, Spittlebug, Termites, White Grubs, Stem Borer, Fruit Borer, Shoot Borer, Cooling Moth, Aphids, Thrips, White Flies, Scales, Jassids, Leaf Hopper, Leaf feeding insects, Colorado Potato Beetle, Cutworms, Semi Looper, Brown Plant Hoppers, Root grub and other pests in vegetables, cereals, millets, oil seeds, paddy, fruits and other agriculture and plantation crops.

KATYAYANI TRIPLE ATTACK is compatible with all commonly used agri and plant protection inputs. As a general guideline and principle not more than two chemicals should be mixed with the foliar spray at a time. The products are designed to be used as a foliar spray. It is not designed to be added to the soil and as such may have no effect if used in that manner.
