This study aimed to evaluate the bioencapsulation formulation of Beauveria bassiana using sodium alginate and its efficacy against S. frugiperda. The research was conducted using a Factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors: sodium alginate concentration (1%, 1.5%, and 2%) and application time, with three replications. Fungal conidia were encapsulated in sodium alginate beads dropped into a 2% CaCl₂ solution. The results showed that the 1.5% sodium alginate concentration (K2) yielded identical values for conidial viability and encapsulation efficiency (76.00%). The K2 treatment also achieved the highest larval mortality rate (91.43%) at 120 hours post-application, with the fastest median lethal time (LT₅₀) of 76.726 hours. These findings demonstrate that the 1.5% sodium alginate formulation effectively protects B. bassiana conidia, thereby enhancing its potential as a biological control agent against S. frugiperda.
