The aerial conidia of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana served as the basis for the preparation of the wettable powder and inverted emulsion formulations. We evaluated the insecticidal efficacy of prepared conidia against the second-instar larva of the Cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis, according to storage temperature in order to establish the ideal conditions for long-term storage.
