Compatibility of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuilleminwas studied in the laboratory condition with five commonly used insecticides with their three doses by poison food technique. The results showed that the dinotefuran 20 SG 0.005%, diafenthiuron 50 WP 0.025%, spiromesifen 22.9 SC 0.11%, spinosad 45 SC 0.007% and dimethoate 30 EC 0.015% at lower dose and dinotefuran 20 SG 0.011%, diafenthiuron 50 WP 0.050%, spinosad 45 SC 0.015% and dimethoate 30 EC 0.030% at recommended dose were rated as relatively harmless (Grade 1) and it was compatible with B. bassiana, while dinotefuran 20 SG 0.016%, diafenthiuron 50 WP 0.075%,spiromesifen 22.9 SC 0.34%, spinosad 45 SC 0.022% and dimethoate 30 EC 0.045% at higher dose and spiromesifen 22.9 SC 0.23% at recommended dose were“ slightly harmful†(Grade 2) to B. bassiana.
