Abstract
The investigation entitled “Pathogenicity and biochemical properties of entomopathogenic fungus Lecanicillium saksenae (Kushwaha) Kurihara and Sukarno” was conducted at College of Agriculture, Vellayani during 2014 -2016. The objective was to study the pathogenicity and biochemical properties of L. saksenae in order to establish its virulence to insect, mite and nematode pests. L. saksenae is an indigenous isolate from the soils of Vellayani.
