Bio efficacy of virulent isolate of entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana (MK918495) was evaluated against two spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae on tuberose under pot culture condition at Insectary, Department of Agricultural Entomology, TNAU, Coimbatore. For effective working of any insect pathogen, it is mandatory to develop an effective formulation. Keeping this point in view, in the present study, compatibility of the fungal isolate with two different oils, viz., ground nut and sunflower were tested at different concentrations, viz., 1, 3, 5 and 10%. The results revealed that the groundnut oil was compatible with B. bassiana at all concentrations with respect to colony growth and spore yield compared to sunflower oil which was compatible only at one percent. Based on the results, oil in water and oil based formulations were prepared. At higher concentration of 10%, groundnut oil recorded the radial colony growth of 36.90 mm diameter and spore yield of 1.2 x 108 spores mL-1. Among the seven formulations (A-G) tested, formulation D which contained surfactant mixture having HLB value of 10.00 (53.33% Tween 80 and 46.67% Span 80) formed a better suspension with less flocculation layer and dispersion of conidia in spray fluid and was found to be better as it formed a good emulsion with water by mere shaking. Results of pot culture studies revealed that groundnut oil based fungal formulation was effective with a cumulative mean mite population reduction of 64.98% followed by crude fungal spore suspension (62.16%) and both were statistically on par with each other. Standard chemical check, Fenazaquin 10% EC @ 1.5 mL L-1 recorded significantly highest population reduction of mites (77.20%).
