abstract
Field experiment was conducted on the “Bioefficacy of various formulations of biopesticides against Leucopholis lepidophora (Blanchard) infesting sugarcane crop” during 2016-2017 at farmer’s field in endemic area of pest in Kolhapur region during 2016-2017. In field studies the various formulations of EPNs, EPF Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana were tested for their efficacy against grubs of L. lepidophora (Blanchard). The treatment with M. anisopliae-talc base @ 5 gm per litre was found to be significantly superior over untreated control and recorded 9.36 per cent clumps mortality at 60 DAT. Treatment with Entomopathogenic Nematode-Powder @ 5 gm per litre showed 11.68 per cent clumps mortality at 60 DAT were next in order of efficacy. Treatment with Entomopathogenic Nematode-spong formulation, Entomopathogenic Nematode Granules were next in order of efficacy.
