EBS Metarhizium Anisopliae is a liquid bio insecticide containing a beneficial entomopathogenic fungus, which is used to target soil and foliar pests like whitegrubs, aphids, mealybugs, root grubs, beetles, and others. This insecticide enters the body of insects and causes fungal growth, which leads to their death. EBS Metarhizium Anisopliae bio insecticide is safe for animals, humans, and the environment, making it suitable for IPM (Integrated Pest Management) programmes. EBS Metarhizium Anisopliae bio insecticide also helps improve root structure and overall quality of crops like rice, maize, sorghum, barley, coffee, tea, and others.
