India’s ICAR–Indian Institute of Spices Research (ICAR-IISR) has launched a new granular biopesticide specifically developed to combat cardamom thrips, the most damaging pest for small and large cardamom growers.
The biopesticide is formulated with the fungal strain Lecanicillium psalliotae, known for its high virulence against thrips populations.
This innovation comes at a critical time, as Indian cardamom production has been facing increasing challenges due to climate variability and pesticide resistance.
Researchers emphasize that the new formulation is easy to apply, long-lasting in field conditions, and reduces chemical pesticide dependency in cardamom estates across Kerala and Karnataka.
ICAR-IISR confirms that trials have shown “significant reductions in thrip intensity,” making this biopesticide a transformative solution for India’s spice sector.
