The treatment including&lt;em&gt; V. l.&lt;/em&gt; + glycerol (8%) + Tween 80 (1%) + arachid oil (5%) proved to be the most promising, recording maximum surface coverage (92.00%) and biomass (32.10g) at 10 days of inoculation and bioefficacy at 14 days. However, it was on par with the formulations containing &lt;em&gt;V. l.&lt;/em&gt; + glycerol 5% + Tween 80 1% + arachid oil 2% and&lt;em&gt; V. l.&lt;/em&gt; + glycerol 2% + Tween 80 1% + arachid oil 0.5%. In terms of viability and virulence, &lt;em&gt;V. l.&lt;/em&gt; + glycerol 2% + Tween 80 1% + arachid oil 0.5% and &lt;em&gt;V. l.&lt;/em&gt; + glycerol 5% + Tween 80 1% + arachid oil 2% emerged as the best combinations.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Biological Control}, author={Chavan, B.
