Entomopathogenic fungi like Verticillium lecanii and Metarhizium anisopliae were cultured in different
media to produce highest biomass of fungus. In this, the agricultural products and organic products are
used for the total biomass production in Kota district. The different media used for the production of
biomass are vegetables, cereals, pulses, rice washed water, boiled rice water, saw dust, fruits etc. For the
production of biomass of fungi grains media, organic media and non-synthetic media have been used. The
maximum biomass production of Metarhizium anisopliae was observed in yeast extract media (36.96 gm
in 250 ml). The maximum biomass production of Verticillium lecanii was also observed in yeast extract
media (30.82 gm in 250ml).
