Abstract | ||||
In this work we studied the effects of the Beauvaria bassiana and Metarhizium anisoplia on Bracon brevicornis in the laboratory to evaluate the possibility of application of entomopathogenic fungi and the parasitoid Bracon brevicornis side by side in IPM programs. Metarhizium anisoplia was found No mortality observed at the highest concentration (4g/L) and the lowest tested concentration while the recommended concentration recorded mortality (0.1333±0.0908%) of B. brevicornis adult. While The recommended concentration (2g/L) of B. bassiana induced no mortality among the adult parasitoids while its highest tested concentration (4g/L) and the lowest concentration (1g/L) gave mortality (0.0667±.06667%) and (0.1333±0.0908%) respectively. | ||||
