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.
