 ABSTRACT

The nanoparticles of calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, iron oxide and zinc oxide at 10 ppm, 20 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm and 500 ppm were added to the Luria Bertani Agar media in 1:9 ratio to know the influence of nanoparticles on the growth of Bacillus thuringiensis. The maximum number of cfu/g  17.5. 17.4, 12.8 and 11.9 were recorded with MgO at 50ppm, CaO at 20 ppm,  ZnO at 10 ppm, FeO 50 ppm, Where as in control it was 6.6 cfu/g.

Key words: Groundnut, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)
