ABSTRACT:
The subject invention concerns a novel biopesticide and its use to control whiteflies and other pests which cause a significant amount of damage to plants throughout the United States and the Caribbean. These pests are particularly destructive in greenhouses and nurseries. A virulent isolate of Paecilomyces fumosoroseus in an agricultural composiiton, can be used to effectively control these insects. Exemplified herein is Paecilomyces fumosoroseus Apopka, ATCC 20874. By using this novel fungus, or mutants thereof, whiteflies and other pests can be controlled without the environmental and public safety hazards presented by chemical control agents.
