Abstract:
Various grains such as polished rice, brown rice, wheat, maize, ragi, sorghum, barley and bajra were evaluated for mass production of three entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopilae and Lecanicillium lacanii. Among the various grains, maize grains supported maximum good growth and sporulation for B. bassiana. Similarly wheat supported good growth and sporulation of M. anisopilae and for L.lecanii observed maximum growth support, sporulation in brown rice.
