Abstract:
The results on compatibility of M. anisopliae with various botanical and biorational pesticides revealed that highest mycelial growth (74.75 mm) was observed in azadirachtin 0.03% EC (300 ppm) and was significantly superior over rest of the pesticides tested. The minimum (16.94 per cent) growth inhibition of M. anisopliae was observed in pesticidal treatment with azadirachtin 0.03% EC (300 ppm) followed by pyriproxyfen 10% EC (18.61 per cent). The results on compatibility of botanical and biorational pesticides with M. anisopliae clearly indicates that the pesticides having better compatibility with M. anisopliae is having maximum mycelial growth in descending order are azadirachtin 0.03% EC (300 ppm) > pyriproxyfen 10% EC > spinosad 45% SC > eucalyptus oil > novaluron 10% EC > karanj oil.
