The highest concentrations of 1.5×108
spores/ml for B. bassiana and 2×107
spores/ml for M. anisopliae
were most effective. The former caused 100% and the latter 53.3% mortality at the end of experiment and
significant differences were found between these and all other concentrations of each fungus (B. bassiana:
F(4,10)
M. anisopliae: F(4,10) =76.66, P < 0.001). Percentage mortality at the end of the
experiment caused by different concentrations of each fungus has been shown graphically (Figure 1 A, B)
