1 Effective biological pesticides based on oil formulation of deuteromycete fungal spores have been developed for use against locusts and grasshoppers. The isolate IMI 330189 of Metarhizium anisopliae (¯avoviride) var. acridum has been registered, extensively ®eld tested and its operating charact...

The relationships between 30 strains of Metarhizium were investigated by isoenzyme analysis, PCRRAPDs, and protease production. The strains included representatives of M. anisopliae, M. Flavoviride var. ¯avoviride and M. Flavoviride var. minus. Thirteen isolates conforming to M. Flavoviride from ...

Control of grasshoppers and locusts has traditionally relied on synthetic insecticides, and for emergency situations this is unlikely to change. However, a growing awareness of the environmental issues associated with acridid control as well as the high costs of emergency control are expanding th...
