- Abstract
The article presents a study on the use of entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae in controlling the Ceratitis capitata. The researchers gathered Metarhizium anisopliae strain at the University of Cordoba in Cordoba, Spain, and the conodial culture of the insecticidal fungal proteins were prepared using the Adamek's liquid medium. Accordingly, the secreted chemical from the crude soluble protein extract (CSPE) were tested in a diet test. The results have revealed four fungal proteins.
