Weevil-X Organic Bio-Insecticide

Weevil-X, composition: Beauveria bassiana 50%, Metarhizium anisopliae 50% — a potent biological and organic pesticide for eliminating the red palm weevil. Environmentally friendly, causes no secondary pollution or side effects, and is not harmful to humans, animals, beneficial insects, plants or the environment. Target pest: red palm weevil. Directions: dilute 500g (1 pack) of Weevil-X 1 with 500ml (1 bottle) of Weevil-X 2 in 500 litres of water and mix well; spray a sufficient quantity with a high-pressure sprayer to soak the whole tree from the upper leaves down to the trunk (about 50 litres for mature trees), spraying twice a week initially, then twice every 15 days, then once monthly thereafter; it is also recommended to make an opening through the trunk to allow the treatment to penetrate. At the same time, use a soil injector to inject 1 litre at a depth of 20–30cm near the roots. Drill 3–5 holes about 20cm deep into the palm trunk with an electric drill, 1.5m from the ground, and use a high-pressure sprayer to inject about 300ml into each hole weekly for a month. Pest control should be carried out simultaneously on neighbouring trees, as the adult weevil may have already migrated to a nearby tree. Pack size: 500g.
