Aastha Beauveria
Aastha Beauveria Beauveria Bassiana- 1.15% W.P.
Aastha Beauveria is a bio-insecticide having high content of naturally occurring fungus, Beauveria Bassiana, which imparts entomopathogenic action. The bio-insecticide makes an insect cuticle dehydrated and later breaks it with the enzymes eventually leading to insect death; the bio-insecticide is primarily used to control major insect pesting activity because. Aastha Beauveria is the environmental-friendly pesticide that is non-toxic and as compared to chemical pesticides is toxic to other helpful insects, such as bees and lady bugs, and the long-lasting effects of safety from infestation arise due to the presence of pests in maintaining ecological balance within an agricultural field. Bio pesticides are helpful for vegetables, fruits, cereals, pulses, and cash crops; hence, it is at the prime position in the integrated pest management of organic and sustainable farming.
📌 Mode of Action:
• Contact with Surface Area: Spores stick to the exoskeleton of an insect
• Cuticle Breaking through Enzyme Penetration: Fungus penetrates the exoskeleton of an insect by breaking through enzyme penetration
• Dryness & Mortality: Insect dies and dries off in 3-7 days
• Continuous Insect Control: Multiplication & further diffusion of the spores is used for the suppression of pests in a self-regulating, ecological process.
📌 Key Benefits:
• Extreme toxicity to numerous insect pests-it controls pests through a biological means without killing other beneficial organisms
• Non-toxic and residue-free-Safe to human, animals, and bees.
• Long-term pest control- It depresses the level of intensity of pests at all stages of a particular species to an economically non-significant level after few generations.
• Chemical pesticides reducing- Applied in Organic farming and in Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
• Promoting plant health- It defends the plant against the harmful influence of the pest, but facilitates health and productivity of the plant.
📌 Target Crops:
• Vegetables: Tomato, Brinjal, Chilli, Okra, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Capsicum, Cucurbits
• Fruits: Mango, Banana, Grapes, Citrus, Papaya, Guava, Apple
• Grains & Legumes: Wheat, Rice, Maize, Barley, Chickpeas, Lentils, Soybean
• Cash Crops: Cotton, Sugarcane, Tea, Coffee, Spices
📌 How to Use:
• Spray on all the diseased plants using spray of both leaf sides
• Evening hours are recommended when the spores of fungi grow best in evenings
• replication: 10-15 days after application or as required

• Dose: Dissolve in organic compost-2.5 kg/ha
• Application: Applied either when it is at sowing or after the starting the infection cycle by the pests
📌 Technical Specifications:
