Nutritional requirements of mycelial growth and sporulation of several biocontrol fungi in submerged and on solid culture.

To develop fungal biopesticides, the nutritional requirements on available culture media that maximize mycelia and spore yields at low cost are essential for their mass-production. The objective of present study was to find the optimal combinations for the most mycelia yield in submerged and the highest spore yield on solid. Have a better understanding of their basic physiology, and have a better yield of mycelia and conidia with short time and low cost will help to provide valuable information for mass production and commercialization.
