Abstract:The present study was carried out in laboratory conditions (25 ± 10°C and 70% humidity) for studying the bioefficacy of entomopathogenic fungi and Bacillus thuringiensis against Spodoptera litura using the leaf dip method. The insecticidal attributes of three different commercial bioinsecticides (Bacillus thuringiensis 0.5% W.P., Beauveria bassiana 1.0% W.P., and Metarhizium anisopliae 1.0% W.P.) at different concentrations (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5%) were evaluated against the 3rd and 4th larval instars of S. litura… Show more
