摘要：The present study was undertaken to evaluate various liquid growth media viz sabouraud dextrose, sabouraud
sucrose, sabouraud maltose supplemented with yeast extract, potato dextrose and coconut water derived
coniospores and blastospores on sorghum stem borer Chilo partellus ( Swinhoe)Among the media, the
conidia harvested from sabouraud maltose yeast extract broth ( SMYB),potato dextrose broth and coconut
water were found to be pathogenic to all the larval instars of C.partellus. However, blastospores derived from
none of the media did cause mortality
