Abstract

Among the various insecticides tested with B. bassiana, chlorantraniliprole 0.006 per cent recorded highest radial growth and found most compatible with B. bassiana. The other insecticides viz, deltamethrin 0.005 per cent, thiodicarb 0.075 per cent, emamectin benzoate 0.0015 per cent and flubendiamide 0.007 per cent were also found equally compatible with B. bassiana. While, Indoxacarb 0.0075 per cent and fenvalrate 0.015 per cent recorded the least radial growth and thus found less compatible with B. bassiana.
