Growth Pattern of Beauveria Bassiana in Different Eco-Friendly Media

Beauveria Bassiana belongsto the class Deuteromycetes which is one of the important disease-causing biocontrol agents in insect B. bassiana formerly known as Botrytis bassiana (Balsamo), is a widely distributed soil inhabiting fungus. B. Bassiana is also known to be best bio control agent against larval stage of the silkworm. Beauveria bassiana is categorized as a white muscardine fungus due to the white colour of sporulating colonies. It is a type of Bio pesticide which is  based on entomopathogenic fungi which are often considerable scope as plant protection agents against several pathogens and insects including whiteflies, aphids, thrips, grasshoppers and certain types of beetles. Present study deals with the use of different media like coconut media, jaggery media, nutrient media, potato dextrose media, sabouraud dextrose media and molasses media
