Abstract

Results revealed that the highest conidial count among media incubated at room temperature was in T7 (rice bran) with 13.1 x 109 conidia/ml which was significantly higher than other treatments. The same result was obtained in cultures under air conditioned environment wherein T7 (rice bran) had 15.5 x 109 conidial/ml. On substrates incubated at room temperature, the highest conidial count was observed in sorghum seeds (12.8 x 109) but not significantly different from rice bran (12.4 x 109), ground corn (11.6 x 109) and chipped camote tubers (11.1 x 109). Under air conditioned environment, the highest conidial count was observed in sorghum seeds (14.1 x 109) but not significantly different from rice bran (13.5 x 109). The highest mortality of Rice Black Bug (RBB) under greenhouse condition was observed in rice sprayed with M. anisopliae cultured in rice bran (70.00%) but not significantly different from palay seeds (65.00%), corn cob (58.33%) and ground corn (56.67%).
