- Abstract
Pathogenicity of five commercial bioinsecticides; Bio-Catch (Verticillium lecanii), Priority (Paecilomyces fumosoroseus), Bio-Nematon (Paecilomyces lilacinus), Bio-Magic (Metarhizium anisopliae) and Bio-Power (Beauveria bassiana) was evaluated against Aphis fabae under laboratory conditions at 20 and 25°C. LT50 values for V. lecanii, P. fumosoroseus, P. lilacinus, M. anisopliae, B. bassiana at 20 °C were 2.33, 2.49, 2.67, 2.24 and 2.60/days, respectively while at 25°C they were 2.03, 2.18, 2.28, 2.04 and 2.77/days, respectively. LT90 values at 20°C were 4.49, 5.94, 6.46, 5.01 and 6.64, while at 25°C, they were 5.03, 5.40, 6.68, 5.18 and 7.42, respectively. On the 7th day, mortality rates were approximately 100% at all treatments. Insignificant differences were found among the tested products as well as between the two temperatures studied (P=0.989, P>0.05).
