Investigations were carried out towards the “Mass production of entomopathogenic fungi (Metarhizium anisopliae) using different grains as a substrate” at International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Patancheru, Hyderabad during 2016-17. The accomplishment of microbial control of insect pests, the successful mass production of the microbial agents in the laboratory significant availability of the pathogen is a primary requirement in the biocontrol programme. | Mass production of entomopathogenic fungi (Metarhizium anisopliae) using different grains as a substrate
