Multiplex BABA Bio-Insecticide: Beauveria Bassiana (1.15% WP)
Fight Resistant Pests Naturally with the Power of "White Muscadine" Fungus.
Are chemical sprays failing to kill pests on your farm? Multiplex BABA is a powerful biological solution containing the fungus Beauveria bassiana. Unlike chemicals that pests get used to, BABA attacks the insect's skin, penetrating and eliminating them from the inside out.
Best For: Farmers dealing with pesticide-resistant Bollworms, Thrips, Mealybugs, and the dreaded Fall Armyworm in Maize.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Stops Crop Damage Early: Although pests die in 4-5 days, they stop feeding and damaging your crop almost immediately after infection.
- ?️Chemical Resistance Breaker: Works effectively against stubborn pests that survive standard chemical sprays (like resistant Heliothis and Mites).
- ⏳Zero Residue & Export Safe: Perfect for export crops like Chilli and Cotton. It leaves no harmful chemicals on the harvest.
- ?️Spreads Naturally: In humid conditions, infected pests can spread the fungus to other pests, creating a chain reaction of control.
- ?Eco-Friendly & Safe: Harmless to humans, pets, and beneficial earthworms. It only targets harmful insects.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Multiplex BABA works like a "living parasite." It doesn't need the insect to eat it; it only needs to touch the insect's skin.
- Attachment: When you spray, fungal spores land on the pest and stick to its body cuticle.
- Penetration: The spores germinate and drill tubes through the insect's skin using special enzymes, entering the body.
- Elimination: Inside, the fungus grows rapidly, releasing toxins (Beauvericin) that paralyze the pest. The insect dies within 4 to 5 days and turns white (White Muscadine).
Note: The white powder you see on the dead insect is new spores, ready to infect other nearby pests!

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Ensure high humidity for the best results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml or gm / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (per Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foliar Spray (Liquid) | 400 - 600 ml | 200 Litres | 2 - 3 ml | 0 Days |
| Foliar Spray (Powder) | 1 kg | 200 Litres | 5 gm | 0 Days |
| Soil Drenching | 2 Litres / 4 kg | Drench Zone | 10 ml | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Sunlight kills the fungus! Apply after 4:00 PM so the spores can work overnight.
- Mixing: Do NOT mix with chemical fungicides (like Bavistin or Mancozeb). Ensure the spray tank is clean and chemical-free.
- Coverage: The fungus needs moisture to activate. Irrigate the field before spraying or spray when humidity is high (>65%). Use a high-volume spray to drench the foliage.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does it take to kill the pests?
It usually takes 4 to 5 days for the pest to die. However, the pest becomes sick and stops eating your crop within 24 hours of contact.
2. Can I mix Multiplex BABA with other pesticides?
You can mix it with most insecticides (except strong solvents) and bio-fertilizers. NEVER mix it with chemical fungicides, as they will kill the BABA spores instantly.
3. Is it safe for honeybees and earthworms?
Yes, BABA is a biological product that targets specific pests. It is safe for beneficial insects like honeybees, ladybugs, and earthworms.
4. What is the difference between Liquid and Powder?
Both contain the same fungus. Liquid is easier to mix and use, while Powder is often more cost-effective for large areas. Ensure constant stirring if using Powder to prevent settling.
5. How should I store the leftover product?
Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. High temperatures can kill the living spores inside the bottle/packet.
