Abstract

Described herein is a method for blastospore-based insect control products of entomopathogenic fungi including either B. bassiana or I. fumosorosea that produces high concentrations of stable, effective spores by identifying nutritional and environmental conditions required for the rapid production of high concentrations of a stable and infective yeast-like blastospore composition.
