Assessment of the suitability of Tinopal as an enhancing adjuvant in formulations of the insect pathogenic fungus <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> (Bals.) Vuillemin

Abstract

Tinopal was found to be a suitable adjuvant for B. bassiana-based biopesticide formulations. It conferred tolerance to sunlight and caused stress in the insect, leading to a synergistic effect with B. bassiana.
