| Abstract | ||||
| The study revealed the pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) against egg and adult stages of red spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Koch). Results showed that M. anisopliaewas more pathogenic against egg stage than B. bassiana, while B. bassiana was more pathogenic against adult stage. The results of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) described the development cycle of B. bassiana on T. urticae. | ||||
