Abstract

Laboratory bioassay of the fungus MfJlarhizium anisop < /em>liae included different
stages oi two important cotton insects, Spodoplera littoralis(BoiSd) and Agrolis
ipsilon(Huf.), under different concentrations of fungus. The fungus proved virulent
against eggs and larvae of both insects. Treatment eggs of both insects pests
reduced rate of hatchability. It was evident that eggs and larvae of both insects were
susceptible to fungu! infection, and most of hatched larvae from treated eggs failed to
devleop to adults and dead in both S.liltoralis and A.ipsi/on. LCso for S,/ittoralis eggs
was 1.7 x 10~ spores/ml and 2.5 x 10~ sporeslml for larvae. LCso for A.ipsi/on eggs
was 2.5 x 103 sporeslml, and 5.5 x 103 spores/ml for larvae. s.nnorsus appeared 10 be
more susceptible than Aipsi/on through all the stages, and recorded more reduction in
larvae, pupae, and adults during larval development of the newly emerging larvae
from the treated eggs.
