Abstract
Currently, biological preparations occupy a special place in the protection of agricultural crops from pests. Microorganisms of various origins are used in the production of pathogenic biological preparations against agricultural pests. In this work, experiments were conducted to select nutrient media for growing entomopathogenic bacteria. Nitrogen and carbon sources were used as optimization factors. The control growing medium was medium "A", traditionally used for cultivating bacteria of the genus Bacillus. As a result, nutrient media SG and KR showed significantly better results than nutrient media in the control variant
