The present study was conduct to evaluate the efficacy of conidial suspension and sunflower oil formulation of local isolate of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) against third instar larvae of G. mellonella. There was not much difference between the efficacies of the formulations, however, some higher response was observed in the sunflower oil formulation. At 72 HAT the mortality response in case of conidial suspension was 73.33% however at the same HAT in case of sunflower oil formulation the mortality response was 83.33% at the concentration of 1000 x 105 spore/ml.
