Abstract: Field evaluation data from Kharif season of 2022-23 revealed that Beauveria bassiana UHSB EPI-1 at a concentration of 5.0 grams per litre demonstrated the highest efficacy in controlling aphids. This isolate achieved significantly higher aphid mortality rates during the first, second, and third sprays compared to other fungal isolates highlighting its effectiveness. The performance of this treatment was statistically comparable to the standard check, cyantraniliprole, indicating its potential as a viable alternative for aphid management. These findings establish the superiority of B. bassiana UHSB EPI-1 over other tested fungal isolates, offering a sustainable and effective solution for pest control in cabbage crops.
