Abstract: Improved medium contained Periostracum Cicadae was used to induce the entomogenous fungus Beauveria bassiana, with the PDA medium as control. The growth rate, sporlation, spores germination and virulence against the third?instar?larva of Ostrinia nubilalis of the fungus were compared on both medium. The results indicated that sporlation, spores germination and bioactivity against pests induced by P. Cicadae were higher than that of the control, respectively, and showed significant difference. LT50 of fungus induced by P. Cicadae against the pests was 4.73 days, and that of the control was 6.97 days. In addition, the sporulation time of the fungus induced and extracellular protease activity by improved medium was better than those of control group, The variation range of extracellular protease activity by improved medium was 1.497×10-2-3.538×10-2 IU/mL, but trowth rate of the former was lower than that of the later. In conclusion, the sporlation, spores germination, and virulence against pests were enhanced by P. Cicadae induction, it was potential for storage and improvement of B. bassiana strain.
