T1 - Pathogenicity of water and oil based suspensions of Metarhizium Anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin and Beauveria Bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin to citrus mealybug, Planococcus Citri (Risso) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae)

N2 - Laboratory bioassays compared the pathogenicity of six isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana against second instar citrus mealybugs, Planococcus citri under conditions of 26 ± 10 C, and 85 ± 1% RH in 24 hour darkness. All isolates exhibited pathogenicity. M. anisopliae isolate FI-1248 was the most virulent isolate in both water and oil suspensions with LC50 values of 6.4 x 105 conidia/mL and 3.4 x 104 conidia/mL respectively. M. anisopliae isolate FI-0985 was found to be the least virulent.
