Effect of some natural pesticides on entomogenous muscardine fungi.
Five commercial preparations of natural pesticides were tested for in vitro compatibility with muscardine fungi, Beauveria brongniartii and Metarhizium anisopliae. Neemark (azadirachtin) was found compatible with both the fungi. Phytoallexin, the natural fungicide, significantly inhibited the growth of both the fungi, while other natural pesticides showed moderate to severe inhibition.
