Compatability Response of Certain Entomopathogenic Fungi Consortia

This study investigates the compatibility and development of consortia among four entomopathogenic fungi: Beauveria bassiana, Lecanicillium lecanii, Metarhizium anisopliae, and Metarhizium rileyi, aiming to enhance control measures against S. litura. Through visual observation of fungal interactions in petri dishes, different combinations were assessed for compatibility, revealing varying degrees of intermingling and inhibition. Partial compatibility was noted between Beauveria bassiana, Lecanicillium lecanii, Metarhizium anisopliae which can be grouped to a consortia.
