Abstract
The present study was conducted to determine the effects of Metarhizium anisopliaefugus(Metchnikoff)as biocontrol agent against the fourth larvae instar of Trogodermagranarium(Everts) under laboratory conditions different concentrations 4x107 ,4x105 ,4x103 conidia/ml. Each concentration treated 10 larvae and replicated 3 times. The results showmortality rate was elevated with conidial concentration. The killing rate was 70%,60%and 56.5% at the different concentrations 4x107 ,4x105 ,4x103 conidia/ml, respectively. The effect of fungi clearly appears in the total number of eggs laid by emergedadultsfrom treatmentlarvae, it highly decreased at 4x107 conidia/ml about 10 eggs which is a significant difference compared with control 100 eggs.
