Field Application Methods of Metarhizium anisopliae

Metarhizium anisopliae is a broad-spectrum entomopathogenic fungus widely used in sustainable and organic agriculture for biological pest control.

Main applications in field:

Seed Dressing: Mixed with oil flowable concentrates to coat seeds (e.g., peanuts, sugarcane) for early-stage protection against grubs.

Soil Broadcast: Granular formulations are applied to the soil before sowing or during transplanting to build a long-term pest barrier.

Coarse Foliar Spray: Sprayed directly onto crops or the soil surface during peak pest activity or early larval stages.

Chemical-Biological Tank Mix: Combined with low doses of chemical insecticides or botanical pesticides (like matrine or azadirachtin) to accelerate pest knockdown and delay resistance.
