摘要

PURPOSE: An insecticidal composition with improved Beauveria bassiana insecticidal ability is provided to suppress immune response of Spodoptera exigue and to ensure quick penetration of Beauveria bassiana. CONSTITUTION: An insecticidal composition contains Beauveria bassiana and benzylidene acetone as an active ingredient. The composition contains 0.5-5 mg of benzylidene acetone per 1.0x10^5 to 1.0x10^6 cfu/mL of Beauveria bassiana. A pest is eliminated using each 400-4,000 ppm of Beauveria bassiana and benzylidene acetone.
