The compatibility tests with two different types of pesticides enable their combined use to reduce the time and cost of application without affecting their efficiency. The study indicated compatibility of Lecanicillium lecanii with pesticides imidacloprid 17.8 SL (25 g a.i ha−1) and copper hydroxide 77 WP (1%) with respect to growth inhibition, sporulation and spore viability. The fungicide carbendazim (50 WP) completely inhibited the growth and sporulation of L. lecanii on solid medium.
