Metarhizium anisopliae is used as a biological insect-control fungus. It helps manage pests such as termites, root grubs, root weevils, beetles, ants, caterpillar pests, and locusts. It is especially useful for soil and root-zone pest management in sustainable agriculture and integrated pest management programs. Is Metarhizium anisopliae effective against ticks? Yes, certain strains and formulations of Metarhizium anisopliae have been studied and used for tick control. However, effectiveness depends on the strain, formulation, application method, environmental conditions, and whether the product is registered for tick control in the intended market. For crop use, always follow the product label and local registration requirements. Which disease is caused by Metarhizium anisopliae? Metarhizium anisopliae causes a fungal disease in insects commonly known as green muscardine disease. This disease affects susceptible insects, not plants. The fungus infects the insect body, grows inside the host, and may later produce green spores on the insect cadaver under suitable humidity. Is Metarhizium anisopliae harmful to bees? Metarhizium anisopliae is generally considered more targeted than broad-spectrum chemical insecticides, but users should still follow label precautions carefully. Avoid unnecessary exposure to pollinators, do not spray directly onto active bee colonies, and avoid application during peak bee activity unless the product label specifically permits it. What pests does thiamethoxam target? Thiamethoxam is not a biological fungus and is not related to Metarhizium anisopliae . It is a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide used against a range of sucking and chewing pests, depending on the registered crop and label. Common target pests include aphids, leafhoppers, whiteflies, thrips, flea beetles, mealybugs, and some beetle pests. This question is better used in a comparison article between chemical and biological pest-control options rather than as a main FAQ on a Metarhizium anisopliae product page. How can growers get the best results with Metarhizium anisopliae? For best results, apply Metarhizium anisopliae early, before pest pressure becomes severe. Ensure good contact with the pest zone, especially the soil and root zone for soil-dwelling pests. Maintain adequate soil moisture, avoid harsh fungicide tank mixes unless compatibility is confirmed, and apply during cooler parts of the day when possible. For soil application, it can be mixed with water and applied through drip irrigation, flood irrigation, soil spraying, or root-zone drenching. It can also be mixed with organic fertilizers, vermicompost, or neem cake and applied near the root zone. How should Metarhizium anisopliae be applied? For soil application, mix Metarhizium anisopliae at 5 g per litre of water, decant the supernatant liquid, and apply through drip irrigation, flood irrigation, soil spraying, or root-zone drenching. It can also be mixed with organic fertilizers, vermicompost, or neem cake and applied to the root zone. For termite mounds, destroy the termitarium and drench the area with a liberal quantity of water using the recommended dilution. Can Metarhizium anisopliae be used as a foliar spray? Yes. For foliar application, use the recommended dosage and ensure good crop canopy coverage. Spray volume should be adjusted according to crop size and canopy density. Foliar applications may be used for target pests such as caterpillar pests and locusts where recommended. What is the shelf life of Metarhizium anisopliae? The product has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Key Benefits Biological Control of Soil-Dwelling Pests Metarhizium anisopliae is an entomopathogenic fungus used for biological control of insect pests, especially soil-dwelling and root-zone pests such as termites, root grubs, root weevils, beetles, ants, caterpillar pests, and locusts. Natural Fungal Mode of Action The fungal spores attach to the insect body, germinate, and penetrate the outer cuticle. Once inside the pest, the fungus multiplies, disrupts normal insect function, and helps reduce pest populations naturally. Supports Integrated Pest Management Metarhizium anisopliae can be used as part of an integrated pest management program to reduce reliance on conventional chemical insecticides and support more sustainable crop protection. Effective Root-Zone Pest Support When applied to the soil or root zone, Metarhizium anisopliae helps protect crops from pests that damage roots, seedlings, and underground plant parts. Suitable for Multiple Crops Metarhizium anisopliae can be used across a wide range of crop groups, including cereals, millets, pulses, oilseeds, fibre crops, sugar crops, forage crops, plantation crops, vegetables, fruits, spices, flowers, medicinal crops, aromatic crops, orchards, and ornamentals. Flexible Application Options The product can be used through soil application, root-zone drenching, drip irrigation, flood irrigation, soil spraying, mixing with organic fertilizers, vermicompost, or neem cake, and foliar spraying where recommended.

Strength 245-10000 spores/g Product Enquiry Buy this species Download Brochure Benefits Improved Soil Health Hyphal networks bind soil particles, promoting soil structure, aeration, and moisture retention, creating healthier, more resilient environments for plant roots. Reduced Fertilizer Dependence Improved nutrient efficiency allows plants to thrive with less fertilizer, supporting sustainable farming practices and decreasing potential soil and water pollution. Increased Drought Resistance Extending root surface area boosts water absorption, helping plants endure drought conditions, enhancing resilience, and reducing water stress. Enhanced Nutrient Uptake Improves nutrient access, especially phosphorus, by forming hyphal networks that extend beyond plant roots, increasing nutrient availability and uptake. Dosage & Application Additional Info Scientific References Mode of Action Sustainability Advantage FAQ Scientific References Improves growth and phosphorus uptake in contaminated soil Inoculation with R. intraradices significantly enhanced soybean growth, phosphorus uptake, and grain yield even in heavy metal-contaminated soils ( Adeyemi et al., 2021 ). Broad agricultural benefits and soil health contributions A comprehensive review highlighted the species' roles in nutrient cycling, improved water retention, glomalin production, and overall support for sustainable agriculture ( Onyeaka et al., 2024 ). Enhanced nutrient uptake and microbial community structure Field experiments with maize showed that R. intraradices increased phosphorus and nitrogen uptake, biomass, and improved soil microbial biomass when combined with earthworms ( Li et al., 2013 ). Remediation and soil improvement in polluted environments Combining R. intraradices with Solanum nigrum improved cadmium retention in roots, boosted soil enzyme activity, and enhanced microbial diversity under heavy metal stress ( Wang et al., 2025 ). Improved drought tolerance and antioxidant activity Inoculated finger millet seedlings showed improved phosphorus uptake, chlorophyll content, and stress tolerance indicators such as higher antioxidant levels and reduced oxidative damage (Tyagi et al., 2021) . Mode of Action 1. Host Recognition and Root Colonization Rhizophagus intraradices , a species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) in the phylum Glomeromycota , initiates symbiosis through a sophisticated chemical signaling exchange with host plants. Root exudates, particularly strigolactones , trigger spore germination and hyphal branching. In response, R. intraradices produces Myc-LCOs (Mycorrhizal lipochitooligosaccharides) , which activate host plant receptors and initiate symbiotic signaling pathways via the common symbiosis signaling pathway (CSSP) . Once recognition is achieved, the fungus penetrates the root epidermis and cortex via appressoria , establishing intraradical colonization . Within cortical cells, it forms arbuscules , finely branched hyphal structures that serve as the interface for bi-directional nutrient exchange. In some host species, vesicles are also formed, acting as lipid-rich storage and reproductive structures. Source : Kumar, Sanjeev. (2018). In vitro cultivation of AMF using Root Organ Culture: factory of biofertilizers and secondary metabolites production. 2. Nutrient Foraging and Transfer The most direct agronomic benefit of R. intraradices lies in its capacity to enhance nutrient acquisition: The fungus develops an extensive extraradical hyphal network that significantly increases the absorptive surface area of the root system, accessing nutrients beyond the rhizosphere depletion zone . Key nutrients mobilized include phosphorus (Pi) , zinc (Zn) , copper (Cu) , and other micronutrients, often bound in forms that are otherwise unavailable to plants. High-affinity phosphate transporters (e.g., GintPT ) in fungal hyphae facilitate Pi uptake, which is then translocated via the fungal cytoskeleton to the arbuscules. Inside the arbuscule interface, nutrient exchange occurs via a periarbuscular membrane , where plant Pi and metal transporters (e.g., PT4 ) retrieve the nutrients. In return, the plant supplies the fungus with photosynthetically derived carbon , mainly in the form of hexoses , transported through plant sugar transporters , supporting fungal metabolism and reproduction. Khan, Yaseen, Sulaiman Shah, and Tian Hui. 2022. " The Roles of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Influencing Plant Nutrients, Photosynthesis, and Metabolites of Cereal Crops—A Review" Agronomy 12, no. 9: 2191. 3. Abiotic Stress Alleviation R. intraradices significantly modulates plant physiological responses under abiotic stress conditions: Enhances water acquisition through extended hyphal reach and improved root hydraulic conductivity. Increases osmoprotectant synthesis , including proline , glycine betaine , and soluble sugars , aiding in osmotic adjustment under drought and salinity stress. Activates antioxidant enzyme systems , including superoxide dismutase (SOD) , catalase (CAT) , and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) , reducing oxidative damage from ROS generated during stress. Influences the synthesis and signaling of phytohormones such as abscisic acid (ABA) , jasmonic acid (JA) , salicylic acid (SA) , and auxins , which regulate stress adaptation, stomatal closure, and root architecture. 4. Soil Aggregation and Health The extraradical hyphae of R. intraradices play a critical role in soil structure and fertility : Secrete glomalin-related soil proteins (GRSPs) that stabilize soil aggregates by binding mineral particles and organic matter. Improve soil porosity , water infiltration , and bulk density , contributing to enhanced root penetration and aeration. Support carbon sequestration by promoting stable soil organic carbon pools. Increase microbial biomass and enzymatic activity, such as phosphatases , ureases , and dehydrogenases , which further enhance nutrient cycling and microbial community function. 5. Biotic Stress Resistance and Pathogen Suppression R. intraradices contributes to plant immunity and disease resistance through several pathways: Competes with soil pathogens for space and resources in the rhizosphere and root cortex. Activates induced systemic resistance (ISR) via jasmonate and ethylene signaling pathways, enhancing the plant’s defense readiness. Alters rhizosphere microbiome composition , often increasing populations of beneficial microorganisms (e.g., Pseudomonas , Trichoderma ) that further antagonize pathogens. Reduces the translocation of heavy metals and xenobiotics to aerial parts, providing a protective buffer in contaminated soils. 6. Ecological and Agronomic Integration In sustainable agriculture, R. intraradices is increasingly applied as a bioinoculant , either alone or in combination with other beneficial microbes. Its efficacy depends on: Soil conditions (pH, organic matter, nutrient availability) Host plant genotype and mycorrhizal compatibility Co-inoculation strategies (e.g., with nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Azospirillum brasilense ) Reduction in synthetic fertilizer inputs, which can suppress AMF colonization when in excess Additional Info Product Specifications Strength: customisable Formulation: customisable Purity: High-quality inoculum with verified spore viability Storage and Handling Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Dosage & Application Application Rates for Different Agricultural Systems For Field Crops (Hectare-based application): Standard field application: 60 g per hectare High-intensity farming: Up to 100 g per hectare for optimal colonization Maize and cereal crops: 60–100 g/ha mixed with seed or applied at sowing Legume crops (soybean, chickpea, lentil): 60 g/ha, compatible with rhizobial inoculants Horticultural crops (vegetables, fruits): 30–50 g per hectare For Specialized Applications: Hydroponic systems: 1 g per plant or 580 propagules per liter applied via subirrigation Greenhouse nurseries and potting: 3 g per square meter of growing area Tissue culture and micropropagated plants: 0.5–1.0 g per seedling during hardening stage Cuttings and propagation material: 0.5 g per cutting at rooting medium Turf and ornamental applications: 50–100 g per 1000 m² Optimal Spore Density and Colonization Rates Research indicates that optimal inoculation requires a minimum threshold for effective colonization: Minimum effective spore density: 2–3 spores per seed or seedling for adequate colonization establishment Optimal spore density: 5–6 spores per seed results in superior root colonization rates (75–84%) and maximal plant vigor Application strength: The product contains 245 active spores per gram, ensuring consistent and reliable inoculum quality Colonization timeline: Initial root colonization typically occurs within 2–4 weeks; visible plant benefits manifest within 6–8 weeks; maximum benefits develop throughout the entire growing season Application Methods and Techniques Seed Treatment (Most Common) Mix R. intraradices inoculum with seeds immediately before sowing at a ratio of 60 g per hectare. Ensure uniform distribution for consistent field colonization. In-Furrow Application Apply 60 g per hectare directly into the planting furrow at sowing depth (5–8 cm). This method ensures close proximity of spores to germinating roots. Root Dip Method (Nurseries and Transplants) Suspend seedling roots in a slurry containing 3 g per square meter of growing area for 2–5 minutes before transplanting. This high-contact method accelerates colonization establishment. Subirrigation and Hydroponic Systems Dilute liquid inoculum (580 propagules/liter) in irrigation water and apply weekly through drip or subirrigation systems. Filter product to prevent emitter clogging. Soil Incorporation Mix inoculum into soil at 60 g per hectare 1–2 weeks before planting for field crops, allowing time for spore positioning. Foliar and Root Zone Drenching Apply via soil drenching at transplanting stage (10 mL per plant) for containerized crops and horticultural applications. Critical Application Considerations Phosphorus Management High soil phosphorus levels (>50 ppm) suppress AMF colonization and reduce symbiotic effectiveness. When using R. intraradices, reduce phosphorus fertilizer applications and rely on the fungus to mobilize existing soil phosphorus reserves. Combination treatments of R. intraradices + 50% recommended phosphorus consistently outperform full-dose phosphorus alone. Fungicide and Chemical Interactions Avoid fungicide applications for at least 2–4 weeks post-inoculation to prevent suppression of colonization. Systemic fungicides are particularly damaging to AMF establishment. Coordinate all pesticide applications with agronomist recommendations considering AMF symbiosis. Soil Preparation and Timing Inoculate into well-prepared, slightly acidic to neutral soils (pH 6.0–7.5). Avoid waterlogged conditions immediately post-inoculation. Ideal soil moisture should be 60–70% of field capacity. Compatibility with Other Microorganisms R. intraradices generally works synergistically with beneficial bacteria (Bacillus spp., Azospirillum spp.) and other AMF species. Co-inoculation often produces superior results to single-organism application. Storage and Handling Store product in cool, dry conditions (4–15°C) in sealed containers away from light. Do not expose to temperatures above 25°C or to direct sunlight. Use within 12–24 months of manufacture for optimal viability; maintain storage conditions to preserve spore viability and germination potential. FAQ What is the new name for Glomus intraradices? The fungus formerly known as Glomus intraradices has been officially reclassified as Rhizophagus intraradices based on comprehensive molecular phylogenetic analysis. This taxonomic change, implemented following the 2010 reclassification by Schüßler and Walker, reflects advances in DNA sequencing technology and ribosomal RNA gene analysis that revealed the original genus assignment was incorrect. The genus Rhizophagus is more accurately aligned with the evolutionary lineage and morphological characteristics of this species. The reclassification was formally anchored through the International Culture Collection of Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (INVAM) culture FL208, which represents the type strain and nomenclatural authority for the species. Important Note: It is critical to distinguish between two distinct species within the Rhizophagus genus: Rhizophagus intraradices (formerly Glomus intraradices, strain FL208 and related isolates) Rhizophagus irregularis (formerly known as Glomus irregulare and historically confused with R. intraradices, particularly the DAOM197198 reference strain) While historically conflated, phylogenetic and molecular analyses now clearly demonstrate these are separate species with different colonization characteristics and agricultural performance profiles. What is the use of Glomus intraradices (Rhizophagus intraradices)? R. intraradices serves as a plant growth-promoting arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus with diverse agricultural, horticultural, and environmental applications: Sustainable intensification of cereal crops (maize, wheat, rice, sorghum) with reduced fertilizer dependency Improved legume performance (soybean, chickpea, lentil) complementing nitrogen-fixing rhizobia Enhanced tuber and root crop yields (potato, cassava, carrots) with superior nutrient uptake and stress tolerance Horticultural Applications Nursery production of high-quality transplants with accelerated growth and disease resistance Fruit crop establishment (citrus, mango, avocado, berry crops) with improved root development Ornamental plant production with superior vigor and stress resilience Vegetable production (tomato, pepper, cucumber) supporting both conventional and organic systems Environmental Remediation Phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils through enhanced metal uptake capacity and soil enzyme activity Restoration of degraded mining sites and contaminated agricultural lands Coal mining site revegetation and ecosystem recovery Support for pioneer plant species establishment in marginal and disturbed environments Sustainable Agriculture Intensification Reduction of synthetic fertilizer inputs by 25–50% while maintaining or improving yields Support for organic farming systems seeking certified biological inputs Climate-smart agriculture through enhanced carbon sequestration and drought resilience Integrated pest management via natural disease suppression mechanisms Specialized Applications Micropropagated plant hardening and acclimatization protocols Hydroponic and soilless cultivation systems for high-value crops Biofortification programs improving micronutrient density in staple food crops Effects of Rhizophagus intraradices on Crops Research has documented comprehensive beneficial effects across diverse crop species: Nutrient Uptake and Growth Promotion Phosphorus uptake: 50–130% increase in plant-available phosphorus, enabling 25–50% reduction in phosphate fertilizer Nitrogen acquisition: Enhanced nitrogen uptake through both direct root absorption and fungal-mediated pathways Micronutrient availability: Improved zinc, copper, iron, and manganese bioavailability particularly important in calcareous and alkaline soils Biomass accumulation: Increased shoot and root dry matter by 15–40% depending on soil fertility and environmental conditions Root System Development Enhanced lateral root initiation and root hair density Increased root diameter and improved soil penetration capability Expanded root surface area (up to 100-fold expansion through hyphal networks) Modified root architecture supporting improved nutrient and water acquisition Yield and Productivity Grain yield: 10–35% yield increases in cereals (maize, wheat, rice) particularly under limiting nutrient or water availability Legume productivity: 20–30% increases in soybean, chickpea yields with complementary rhizobial inoculation Tuber production: 14.5% yield increases in cassava in phosphorus-deficient soils Horticultural crops: 25–35% increases in fruit number and mass in pepper, tomato, strawberry Stress Tolerance Enhancement Drought resilience: Maintained photosynthetic efficiency and leaf water potential under moderate to severe drought;

It is especially useful in crop programs focused on stress management, stronger stems, improved crop posture, and better yield potential. What are the disadvantages of nano silica in concrete? In concrete, nano silica is used for a completely different purpose than in agriculture. It can improve strength and durability, but possible disadvantages may include higher cost, handling challenges, dust-related concerns in dry powder form, possible workability reduction, and the need for proper dispersion. This is not directly related to Nano Silica for plants, which is formulated as an agricultural silica nutrient for crop nutrition and stress management. What are the benefits of taking silica? For plants, “taking silica” means absorbing plant-available silicon through the roots or plant surface. Once absorbed, silica can help strengthen plant tissues, improve structural support, reduce water loss, enhance tolerance to drought and stress, and support resistance against pests and diseases. Nano Silica is intended for plant nutrition and agricultural use, not for human consumption. What is nano silica synthesis and its impact on plant nutrition and stress management? Nano silica synthesis refers to the preparation of silica in nanoscale or highly dispersible form so it can be delivered more efficiently. In plant nutrition, the goal is to improve silica availability and support plant uptake. Nano Silica can help plants manage stress by strengthening cell walls, improving water-use efficiency, reducing transpiration, supporting photosynthesis, and improving tolerance to pest, disease, drought, and other stress conditions. How does Nano Silica help during drought stress? Nano Silica helps plants manage drought stress by supporting stronger leaf and stem tissues and reducing excessive water loss through transpiration. This can improve water-use efficiency and help plants maintain better physiological function under dry conditions. Can Nano Silica improve pest and disease resistance? Yes. Silica can strengthen the epidermal layer of leaves and stems, creating a stronger physical barrier. This can help plants tolerate pest and disease pressure better, especially when Nano Silica is used as part of a wider crop nutrition and crop protection program. Which crops can Nano Silica be used on? Nano Silica can be used on cereals, horticultural crops, floriculture crops, sugarcane, oilseeds, vegetables, and other crops where silica nutrition, plant strength, stress tolerance, and improved crop performance are needed. How should Nano Silica be applied? Nano Silica can be used through seed soaking, foliar application, or soil application depending on the crop and production system. Application rates should follow the recommended dosage for each crop group and crop stage. When should Nano Silica be applied? Nano Silica is best used before or during stress-prone growth stages. It can be applied during early crop development, before flowering, during reproductive stages, and before expected drought, heat, or pest pressure. For many crops, split applications from pre-flowering through harvest are recommended. Can Nano Silica be used with fertilizers and pesticides? Yes. Nano Silica is compatible with chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides. However, as with any crop input, jar testing and local compatibility checks are recommended before large-scale tank mixing. What is the shelf life of Nano Silica? Nano Silica has a shelf life of 24 months when stored properly at room temperature. What are the symptoms of silica deficiency in plants?
