Product Description
Metarhizium Anisopliae Powder, CAS 67891-79-6, is a wettable-powder biological insecticide made from dormant conidia of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae, also known as the green muscardine fungus.
The spores adhere to the insect cuticle, germinate and penetrate into the body; the fungus then releases enzymes and destruxins, usually killing the pest within 3 to 7 days.
It is an off-white to dark green fine powder, with color depending on spore concentration.
The standard export grade provides at least 10 billion CFU per gram and can be supplied up to about 40 billion CFU per gram.
It specifies at least 90% spore germination, no more than 8.0% moisture and a pH of about 5.5–7.5.
It specifies at least 80% suspensibility, wetting time no more than 120 seconds and contamination no more than 2.0%.
It controls soil pests such as termites, grubs, wireworms and root weevils.
It controls foliar pests such as locusts, grasshoppers, aphids, thrips, cockroaches, spittlebugs and beetles.
It is suitable for vegetables, fruits, tea plantations, forests, turf and field crops such as rice, corn and sugarcane.
For foliar pests, mix the wettable powder with water and spray in the early morning or late afternoon, typically at 1–2 kg per hectare.
For soil pests, apply as a drench around the root zone; for termites apply directly to mounds or tracks.
It is useful in integrated pest management for pests that have developed resistance to chemical insecticides.
For short-term use, store in a cool, dry place below 25 °C; the product contains living spores.
For long-term storage, refrigerate at 4–10 °C and keep packaging tightly sealed to preserve spore viability.
Confirm spore count, germination rate, moisture, pH, suspensibility, wetting time and contamination rate.
Do not mix with chemical fungicides, which kill the spores; it is generally compatible with most insecticides and fertilizers.
Confirm packaging with the requested quantity and destination requirements.

Q:
What is Metarhizium Anisopliae Powder CAS 67891-79-6?
A: Metarhizium Anisopliae Powder CAS 67891-79-6 is a wettable-powder biological insecticide made from dormant conidia of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae, also known as the green muscardine fungus. It is used for control of soil and foliar insect pests. -
Q:
How does Metarhizium Anisopliae Powder kill insects?
A: The spores adhere to the insect cuticle, germinate and penetrate into the body. The fungus then grows inside the insect and releases enzymes and destruxins, usually killing the pest within 3 to 7 days. -
Q:
Which pests can this biological insecticide control?
A: It targets soil pests such as termites, grubs, wireworms and root weevils, and foliar pests such as locusts, grasshoppers, aphids, thrips, cockroaches, spittlebugs and beetles. It is especially useful in integrated pest management for pests resistant to chemical insecticides. -
Q:
What spore count and quality specifications does this powder provide?
A: The standard export grade provides at least 10 billion CFU per gram and can be supplied up to about 40 billion CFU per gram. It also specifies at least 90% spore germination, no more than 8.0% moisture, at least 80% suspensibility and no more than 2.0% contamination. -
Q:
How is Metarhizium Anisopliae Powder applied?
A: For foliar pests, mix the wettable powder with water and spray in the early morning or late afternoon, typically at 1-2 kg per hectare. For soil pests, apply as a drench around the root zone, and for termites apply directly to mounds or tracks. -
Q:
Can it be mixed with chemical fungicides?
A: No. Chemical fungicides can kill Metarhizium anisopliae spores, so they must not be mixed or applied at the same time. The powder can generally be used with most compatible insecticides and fertilizers. -
Q:
What storage conditions keep the spores viable?
A: Store in a cool, dry place below 25 C for short-term use. For long-term storage, refrigerate at 4-10 C and keep the packaging tightly sealed, because heat, moisture and direct sunlight can reduce spore viability. -
Q:
Is Metarhizium Anisopliae Powder safe for non-target organisms?
A: It is considered safe for birds, fish and bees when used as directed. During mixing and application, avoid breathing the dust or mist and wear a standard dust mask because spores may cause respiratory sensitization.
