The virulence of dry formulations of Nomuraea rileyi for different storage conditions was tested against third instar larvae of Spodoptera litura (Fab.). Talc formulations retained the virulence of N. rileyi for relatively longer period (45 per cent mortality after 3 months storage, 30 per cent after 4 months) than other formulations.Keywords

The larvae of II, III and IV instars of Achaea janata treated with subculture I, II and insect cultures of Nomuraea rileyi indicated larval mortalities to be positively correlated with the concentrations of all the three cultures. First subculture and insect culture were almost equally efficacious in causing the disease. Slightly lowered mortality were recorded with subculture II. Reduction in larval mortality was noticed with advancement of the age in A. janata larvae. Almost 100 per cent larvae were dead with 1x108 spores ml-1 concentration when treated in II intar and it was 5-15 per cent when treated in III and IV instars. However, relatively lower concentrations like 1x104 - and 1x105 spores ml-1 also recorded mortality of 50 per cent and above. The lowest concentration of 1x102 spores ml-1 resulted in 20-30 per cent larval mortality.Keywords

Fifteen isolates of Metarhizium (Nomuraea) rileyi collected from field populations of Spodoptera litura (F.) and Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith in different crops across different agroclimatic zones of Andhra Pradesh were evaluated for their pathogenicity against third instar larvae of S. litura at the Biocontrol Laboratory, Regional Agricultural Research Station, Tirupati, India. Virulence was tested by applying conidial suspension @ 1x107 spores ml–1 on the groundnut leaves on which the larvae were allowed to feed. The cumulative mean larval mortality to the extent of 75.00 to 85.00% was observed with isolates viz. Nr.Yj.KZ, Nr.Dp.KZ, Nr.Rt.KZ, Nr.Rd.HATZ, Nr.Pp. HATZ and Nr.Cp.HATZ whereas the isolates Nr.Ik.SRZ, Nr.Vg.SRZ, Nr.Pl.SZ, Nr.Ag.SZ, Nr.Np.SRZ, Nr.Rp.SZ, Nr.Rg.NCZ, Nr.Hv.SRZ and Nr.Cd.SZ recorded 65.00 to 73.33% mortality.
