Abstract

The efficacy of Neem, Metarhizium acridum,and their mixture on immature adults of Schistocerca gregaria were tested.  Neem when applied at a tenth of recommended dose mixed with M. acridum, caused a significant increase to M. acridum efficacy where the mortality reached 96.6 % while mortality of M. acridum alone reached 76.6 %, after 14 days post-treatment, mortality of due to Neem alone reached to 26.6%. M. acridum, and Neem mixture caused significant reduction of trehalse activity at 2, 4, 6 days post-treatment, while same treatment caused a significant increase in lactate dehydrogenase activity at day 2 post-treatment then this activity was reduced significantly at days 4, and 6 post-treatment.
