Production of entomopathogenic fungi in large quantities Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) by controlling date palm pests with agricultural goods based on the liquid-solid diphasic technique

Abstract

The best media for producing 
Beauveria bassiana in both liquid and solid phases 
to create clamidospores and conidiosopres was 
determined to be fungi in this investigation. The 
solid phase of plant materials, such as sugar cane, 
maize, barley, rice, millet, and sorghum, and the 
liquid phase of plant meals, such as potatoes, 
wheat flour, rice flour, corn flour, and sugar cane 
molasses, were assessed. The liquid phase's 
performance parameters were compared by the 
percentage of clamidospores that germinated and 
the concentration of spores. Wet weight, dry 
weight, germination, and conidia concentration 
were used to compare the solid phase's 
performance 
characteristics.

The 
results 
were substantial 
differences at a 1% probability between the various 
plant extracts employed as liquid and solid media 
to grow B. bassiana clamidospores and conidia. 
Due to their greatest yield and cost-effectiveness, 
rice and sugar cane molasses extract were 
ultimately chosen to manufacture B. bassiana 
conidia and clamidspores, respectively.
