abstract
Six oils with three different concentrations (1%, 2% and 3%) were used along with L. lecanii (LlMO2) conidia to form micro emulsion formulation. Compatibility of oils with L. lecanii were also tested in the laboratory. In case of neem oil, T value calculated for 1% concentration was 91.51 (C) which indicates compatibility. T value calculated for 2% concentration was 84.83 (C) which indicates compatibility. Among all concentrations, 1% and 2% concentrations are compatible with the fungus based on calculated T value. Among the treatments, eucalyptus oil at 1% concentration did not cause any phytotoxicity symptoms.
