Multiplex Varsha: The Biological Weapon Against Sucking Pests
Defeat Mealybugs, Whiteflies, and Aphids without harmful chemicals. A powerful Bio-Pesticide (Verticillium lecanii) that kills pests on contact.
Are sucking pests like Mealybugs or Whiteflies destroying your crop despite heavy chemical spraying? These pests have developed resistance to chemicals. You need a biological solution. Multiplex Varsha contains Lecanicillium lecanii (formerly Verticillium), a fungus that infects pests, grows inside them, and kills them naturally. It is safe, effective, and leaves zero residue.
Perfect for Cotton, Chilli, Grapes, and Greenhouse crops.

- ?Kills Resistant Pests: Works on pests that no longer die from chemical sprays. The fungus physically eats the insect from the inside.
- ?️Melts Waxy Coating: Mealybugs are hard to kill because of their wax. This fungus produces enzymes that dissolve the wax and penetrate the pest.
- ?Zero Residue: Totally safe for export crops. You can spray it even a day before harvest.
- ?Eco-Friendly: Does not harm honeybees, ladybugs, or beneficial insects. Only targets the bad bugs.
- ?Self-Spreading: Once a pest is infected, the fungus produces spores that spread to nearby pests, creating a chain reaction.

How It Works: Mode of Action
This fungus is a "Living Pesticide." Here is how it kills the pest:
- Contact: When you spray, fungal spores land on the insect's body.
- Invasion: If humidity is high, the spores germinate and drill through the insect's skin (cuticle).
- Destruction: The fungus grows inside the insect, releasing toxins (Bassianolide) that paralyze and kill it within 4-6 days.
- Spread: White fungal mold grows out of the dead insect, releasing new spores to infect other bugs nearby.
Result: Complete colony collapse without chemical resistance issues.
Target Crops & Pests
| Target Pest | Crops Commonly Affected |
|---|---|
| Mealybugs | Grapes, Papaya, Custard Apple, Cotton, Hibiscus |
| Whiteflies | Cotton, Tomato, Chilli, Brinjal, Okra |
| Aphids | Beans, Cabbage, Rose, Cotton, Cowpea |
| Thrips | Chilli ("Murda" complex), Capsicum, Rose, Onion |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: The fungus needs moisture to work. Spray in the evening or after irrigating the field.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Application Method | Dose (Liquid) | Dose (Powder) | Water (L / Acre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foliar Spray (Standard) | 2 ml - 3 ml / Litre | 5 g / Litre | 200 L | 0 |
| Soil Drench | 2 Litre / Acre | 5 kg / Acre | - | 0 |
*PHI = 0 Days. You can harvest the crop immediately after spraying as it is non-toxic.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray after 4:00 PM. UV sunlight kills the fungal spores. Nighttime humidity helps the fungus grow.
- Coverage: Sucking pests hide UNDER the leaves. Ensure your spray nozzle reaches the underside of the foliage.
- Mixing: Do NOT mix with Chemical Fungicides (Bavistin, Saaf, etc.) or Sulfur. They will kill the bio-pesticide.
- Storage: This is a living product. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place. Do not leave it in the hot sun.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I mix it with Chemical Insecticides?
Generally, yes. It is compatible with mild insecticides like Imidacloprid. But do not mix with heavy fungicides.
2. How long does it take to kill the pest?
It is not instant like poison. It takes 4 to 6 days for the fungus to grow inside and kill the insect. Be patient; the results are long-lasting.
3. Why did it not work for me?
Did you spray in the hot sun? Did you use a fungicide tank? Or was the humidity too low? The fungus needs moisture and darkness to start working.
4. Is it safe for honeybees?
Yes! It specifically targets pests and is harmless to bees, ladybugs, humans, and pets.
5. Can I use it for Thrips?
Yes. Thrips pupate in the soil. A combination of Foliar Spray (for adults) and Soil Drench (for pupae) works best.
