Abstract
The microbial control of the cotton seed bug Oxycarenus hyalinipennis Costa (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) was studied on Okra plants under laboratory and field conditions. The results indicated that B. thuringiensis var. Kurstaki (Hza, 3B) was more efficient than B. pumilus (which is isolated and recorded for the first time in Alexandria, Egypt) against the adults of the cotton seed bug in the laboratory and against the nymphs and adults under field conditions. Also, B. thuringiensis and B. pumilus proved to be satisfactory as microbial pesticides. As to seed germination in Okra, it was increased with microbial control which decreased number of cotton seed bug in dry Okra pods.
