The insect associated fungi are very important due to their parasitic nature against economical important insect pests of major crops. Most of the species of entomopathogens occur everywhere in the world under different climatic conditions. Some of them occur in forest ecosystem and others live in the soils of different agroecosystem as dormant conidia.The diversity of entomopathogens in the soils of Pakistan agroecosystem varies in different areas under different cultural practices.

Growth media employed to culture Aspergillus niger for the production of enzyme were developed and fermentation conditions was optimized through various trials. Substrate water ratio, different nitrogen source and concentration of nitrogen source were optimized. It was observed that addition of 25% potato extract and 0.3% urea enhanced the production of - amylase by Aspergillus niger. Maximum enzyme activity was observed (102.59 IU/ml/min) in flask level at pH 4 and 37 C temperature. These optimized conditions of growth media was again used in Air-Lift fermenter and determined the activity...
