ABSTRACT

The Entomopathogenic fungus, Lecanicillium lecanii (Zimm.) Zare and Games is one of the
potential microbial biocontrol agents which have wide host range. The present review article
contains the information related to its taxonomic position, mode of action, toxins and
extracellular enzymes produced by the fungus. The various approaches for mass multiplication,
carriers for development of commercial formulations and shelf life of formulated products of
the fungus are reviewed and discussed. The factors like genetic variability, tritropic interaction,
temperature, humidity, formulation base, inoculum level, isolation host, stage of insect host,
compatibility with chemical pesticides which affect the performance of the fungus are presented
and discussed. Response of L. lecanii to different insect pests, under protected conditions and
filed conditions, and its effect on non targeted organisms are reviewed and discussed.
