Numbers of primary conidia discharged from mycelium formulated as alginate granules and unformulated mycelial mats were assessed, as well as infection of the potato aphid, Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas)(Homoptera, Hemiptera, Aphididae), using culture plugs as inoculum sources. Sporulation from experiments at constant temperatures indicated the optimum temperature range was 10.20 .C for both mycelial preparations and there was no or very little sporulation at 30 .C. Infection of aphids kept at 15 .C was 34.50 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MHmnSCg43u6tFSrQXjf5p6A8upSwWFOa/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
