Conidia of the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, in oil/water formulation
(1× 10 8 conidia/ml) were sprayed at 3 weekly intervals on Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi and …

The influence of the temperature of aqueous conidial sprays on conidial viability and
virulence against Diatraea saccharalis was evaluated for pure conidia, rice+ fungus …

The effect of heat stress (45° C) versus non-heat stress (27° C) on germination of
Metarhizium anisopliae sensu stricto (ss) isolate IP 119 was examined with conidia …

Simple Summary Hard ticks are important for economic and health reasons, and control has

Entomopathogenic fungi are promising microbial agents for agricultural pests, especially
piercing‐sucking insects. In this study, eight indigenous fungal isolates including four …

The formulation of mycopesticides may require a physical separation of conidia from the
substrate and subsequent drying. In the present study, Beauveria bassiana conidia …
