Hirsutella thompsonii to control mites

Bio Pesticides and Bio Fungicides

Hirsutella thompsonii to control mites especially Eriophyid mites in coconut:

A fungus Hirsutella thompsonii is a well-known mite-specific pathogen and has been used against various mite pests, including the coconut mite, in different countries.

Now a selected superior strain of H. thompsoni was developed which is able to provide upto 80% death of the mite depending on various crop and environmental factors. At least two sprays at an interval of 15 days are recommended for the effective control of the mite.

International Paneacea Ltd is producing Hirsutella thompsonii in Kerala in large scale with the state govt's support and marketing it thro' Hindustan Insecticides, a public sector enterprise.

Dear Vishnu Sankar, .....Very interesting to go through your blog. Trees are money spinners to the farmers at present.It is only the right type of tree species for the right place and silvicultural packages can do so. (Click: Money Spinning Trees) Contact me with full details on soil, rainfall, water source, resource availability etc., and i could suggest trees that could spin money in these areas. Thank you, From, K.Suresh, Prof & Head, Dept. of Agroforestry, Forest College & Research Institute, Mettupalayam 641 003, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India.

Dear Mr.Sankar, I have seen your message on energy plantation and thanks for the promotional efforts. (For more info: Click 1 and Click 2.) To add to your view,I wish to inform that Forest college has already designed contract farming models exclusively for dendrobiomass based power generation. These modes are now successfully implemented through Auromira energy company now slowly. With kind regards, Dr. K. T. Parthiban, Ph.
