Table 2 Mortality (%), median lethal time (LT50), and spore production per B. tabaci and T. vaporariorum nymphs after 10 days of treatment with M. anisopliae and B. bassiana at 1 × 107 conidia/ml

From: Extracellular enzyme activity of entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae and their pathogenicity potential as a bio-control agent against whitefly pests, Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)
