Production of Bioinsecticides
Beauveria bassiana is a fungus that grows naturally in soils throughout the world and acts as a parasite on various insect species, causing white muscardine disease; it thus belongs to the entomopathogenic fungi. It is being used as a biological insecticide to control a number of pests such as termites, whitefly, different beetles. (Source: Wikipedia)
Beauveria and Metarhizium sp. are currently under development around the world as biocontrol agents for a variety of pest insects.

If you are potential
enough to confer bioinsecticides consultancy, please let us know your absolute
capability by mailing us your information.
Please mail us if any simple small-scale industrial protocol to be added, but the only criterion is that the protocol should be practically feasible and economically profitable.
List of potential institutes or organizations, which could assist in the above topic for technology distribution or to set up small-scale bioinsecticides industry in the villages are listed below. Professors with ability to perform the above experiment could join the list.
