The in-vitro study of the mycelial growth of M. anisopliae and V. lecanii and the effect of different carbon and nitrogen sources on the entomopathogenic fungi is done with the avalibility of Czepeck Dox media. From this study, it was concluded that M. anisopliae and V. lecanii showed higher growth potentials on almost all the nutrient sources studied, the nitrogen sources used in Czepeck Dox media are Sodium Nitrate, Potassium Nitrate and Ammonium Sulphate. In these nitrogen sources, M.anisopliae showed the high biomass product in Potassium Nitrate is 28.20g where as V. lecanii showed high growth of biomass product in Sodium Nitrate is 27.05g In carbon sources like Fructose, Lactose and Dextrose, M. anisopliae showed high growth of biomass product in Lactose is 21.86g where as V. lecanii showed high growth of biomass product in Fructose is 32.70g.
