Abstract
This research intended to investigate the pathogenicity of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) and Metarhizium anisopliae (Met.) on immature stages and adult flies of the peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders). Percentage mortality was concentration dependent. The LC₅₀ and LC₉₀ values reflected privilege of B. bassiana over M. anisopliae on immature stages while B. bassiana reflected higher mortality values for young age pupae than those of old age. Both entomopathogenic fungi showed high activity against flies.
