Summary, etc. <p style="text-align: justify;">Apple pomace (AP), the left over waste after extraction of juice, is often dumped in open field and that adds to environmental pollution. In this context and a rich source of carbohydrates, we tried  to standardize the AP as a substrate for growth and spore production of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) viz., <em>Lecanicillium lecanii</em>,<em> Beauveria bassiana</em> and <em>Paecilomyces fumosoroseus</em> by adding water, ammonium nitrate, as well as using different temperatures and pH. Results have shown that addition of 40 mL of water, 4 g of ammonium nitrate, and maintaining temperature at 30<sup>o</sup>C and pH alkaline (pH 8 &amp; 10) in AP recorded significantly higher spore production of <em>L. lecanii </em>(50.53, 52.81, 151.2 and 50.26-52.2 lakh spores/mL, respectively), <em>B. bassiana</em> (50.44, 51.87, 152.2 and 50.14-51.66 spores/mL, respectively) and <em>P. fumosoroseus</em> (50.56, 52.18, 149.3 and 50.14-52.31 lakh spores/mL, respectively) as compared to positive control, potato dextrose agar (41.76-43.8 lakh spores/mL).</p>
