Abstract

Effect of different insecticides i.e. dimethoate, quinalphos, monocrotophos, phosphamidon and malathion was studied on growth, sporulation and germination of Beauveria bassiana. Results indicated that among the test insecticides dimethoate was comparatively more compatible with Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin on the basis of spore germination, sporulation and growth.
