Katyayani Beauveria is a biological solution containing the beneficial fungus Beauveria bassiana, known for controlling a wide range of crop-damaging pests. Commonly referred to as the "white muscardine fungus," it is highly effective in managing pests across various crops by naturally infecting and eliminating them. Available in both wettable powder and liquid formulations, it offers sustainable pest management while promoting healthier crop growth.

How Katyayani Beauveria Works

When Katyayani Beauveria is applied to crops, the fungal spores come in contact with the insect’s body. The spores germinate and penetrate through the insect’s spiracle, spreading inside the insect and draining its nutrients. Within 7 to 10 days, the pest dies due to the fungal infection. This contact-based action means pests don’t need to ingest the solution, making it highly efficient in controlling infestations.
