A mixture of lambda‐cyhalothrin (lambda‐cyhalothrin: chemical insecticide) and Metarhizium anisopliae (flavoviride) var. acridum Driver and Milner, an entomopathogenic fungus (bioinsecticide) was used for grasshopper control in Mali. An oil‐based formulation of Metarhizium anisopliae (flavoviride...

Trials on the use of Metarhizium flavoviride Gams and Roszypal conidia in oil-based formulation for the control of grasshoppers, particularly Hieroglyphus daganensis Krauss, in Malanville, north Benin, are described. Preliminary work examined sprayer types, application rate, and time of applicati...

In many African countries, the misuse of chemical insecticides is questioned with the awareness of their negative effects on ecosystems and human health. There is, therefore, constant request from consumers for alternatives to chemical insecticide in plant protection. In the present study, the ef...

A field trial was conducted using an oil formulation of the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium flavoviride Gams & Rozyspal (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes), to control the variegated grasshopper, Zonocerus variegatus L. (Orthoptera: Pyrgomorphidae). The influence of dispersal and secondary pick‐...

The present work aims to assess the pathogenicity of the conidia of six isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae and two isolates of Beauveria bassiana on Helicoverpa armigera in order to select the most promising ones for developing a microbiological product to be used in cotton fields. The pathogenic...
