| Abstract | ||
| The two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Acari, Tetranychidae) is a serious polyphagous plant pest. Laboratorial experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Cladosporium cladosporioides as microbial control agent against T. urticae adults and larvae. The current data showed that C. cladosporioides revealed very satisfactory efficacy when compared with B. bassiana. The results indicated that LC50 of: 1.37x104 and 4.45x103 conidia/ml against adults and new hatched larvae, respectively. | ||
