Field trial on ‘Efficacy of combination of biopesticides against Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) infesting lucerne, Medicago sativa (Linnaeus)’ was undertaken during 2013-14 and 2014-15 on lucerne crop at All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Forage Crops, MPKV, Rahuri (M. S.).Studies on efficacy of biopesticides against S. litura revealed that, SlNPV plus Nomuraea rileyi @ 1 ml/lit + 5 g/l was the most promising treatments which recorded least number of survival larval population(2.84 larvae/m row) and maximum green forage yield (118.63 q/ha). It was, however, at par with SlNPV plus Metarhizium anisopliae and SlNPV plus Beauveria bassiana.
