Bioinsecticide Beauveria Bassiana Product Description

Beauveria bassiana is a non-toxic, odorless, and environmentally friendly product. It has continuous infectivity to pests. Once infected, the pests can continuously infect and spread.

1. No pesticide residue.

Today, agricultural products are frequently rejected because of excessive pesticide residues. Even if the crop is harvested immediately after the application of Beauveria bassiana, it will not cause any pesticide residue.

2. No resistance

Pests’ resistance to chemical pesticides makes their insecticidal effects diminish year by year. Beauveria bassiana killed pests by contact with the body wall of the pest under natural conditions, and the pest does not develop any resistance to it. The effect has been getting higher and higher with successive years of use.

3. Regrowth

The new biological pesticide of Beauveria bassiana contains living fungi and spores. After being applied to the field in proper temperature and humidity, it can continue to multiply and grow, then enhancing insecticidal effects.

4. High selectivity

Different from chemical pesticides, which kill poisonous insects and beneficial insects together, Beauveria bassiana attack target pests, and has less impact on non-target organisms such as ladybirds, grasshoppers, and aphids. Therefore, the overall field control effect is better.

Bioinsecticide Beauveria Bassiana Control target

It can control tadpoles, locusts, potato beetles, aphids, leafhoppers, planthoppers, a variety of lepidopteran larvae such as corn borer/pine caterpillar/peach heartworm / diploid borer.

Bioinsecticide Beauveria Bassiana Medicinal properties


Beauveria bassiana colony is a white powder, its effective substance is viable spores of Beauveria bassiana. After the spores contact the pest, they germinate under suitable temperature conditions, and the growing mycelium invades the insect body, generating a large number of mycelia and secretions, making the pest sick and dying after about 4–5 days. The dead body was white and stiff, and its surface was covered with hyphae and white powdery spores. Spores can continue to spread by wind, insects, etc. and infect other pests.

Beauveria bassiana needs proper temperature and humidity (24–28℃, relative humidity of about 90%, and soil moisture content of more than 5%) to make the pests pathogenic. The death rate of Beauveria bassiana infected by pests is slow, and it dies after 4–6 days. Beauveria bassiana and low-dose chemical pesticides (25% parathion microcapsules, 48% Lesbon, etc.) have obvious synergistic effects when used together.

Bioinsecticide Beauveria Bassiana Mode of Action

Infections are mainly caused by insect epidermal contact, and secondarily through digestive and respiratory infections. The way of infection varies with the type of insect, the state of the insect, and environmental conditions.

The highly virulent strain of Beauveria bassiana forms an invasive structure on the body wall of the cotton bollworm larvae, while the low-toxicity strain produces slender pupa hyphae on the larvae body wall. These hyphae will absorb nutrients from the pests and eventually causes the death of pests.

Under suitable conditions, mycelia that have been lethal to the host produce conidia, the surface layer of the worm is broken and the spores are released by the wind to infect other worms, that forming a circular infection.

Bioinsecticide Beauveria Bassiana Toxicity

It is a low-toxic microbial pesticide, which is non-toxic to humans and livestock, safe to fruit trees, but harmful to silkworms.

Bioinsecticide Beauveria Bassiana Use Instructions

1. To control forest pests, spraying the Beauveria bassiana on the ground or aircraft is the main way for application. It is also possible to collect live leaf larvae from the forest and sprinkle them with Beauveria bassiana powder, then put it back to the tree. After the death of these carrier insects, many conidia grow, that is to say, many Beauveria bassiana epidemic spots are formed, which gradually promotes the epidemic of the forest pest.

2. The bacterial powder was diluted with water to prepare a bacterial solution containing more than 100 million spores per milliliter. Spray directly on the vegetables.

3. Seedling powder and 2.5% trichlorfon powder are evenly mixed. Each gram of mixed powder contains more than 100 million live spores. Spray powder on vegetables.

4. Collect and grind the infected insect carcasses. After processing every 100 carcasses, add 80–100 kg of water and spray on the vegetables.

5. For the prevention and treatment of corn borer, you can sprinkle granules (mixed with coal slag according to 1:10) to the bell mouth, about 2g per plant, or irrigate the bacteria.

Bioinsecticide Beauveria Bassiana Use Attention

1. Not suitable for use in sericulture areas

2. The bacterial solution should be used up within 2 hours after preparation to avoid premature germination and lose the ability of infection. Granules should also be used as needed.

3. Store in a cool, dry place.

4. Excessive human contact may cause allergic reactions, low fever, itchy skin, etc. Pay attention to skin protection when applying.

5. Do not mix with chemical fungicides
