ABSTRACT:
A biopesticidal composition for controlling insects (e.g., pecan weevils, thediaprepesroot weevil, fall armyworm, fire ants), containing an agriculturally acceptable carrier and an effective insect (e.g., pecan weevils, thediaprepesroot weevil, fall armyworm, fire ants) biopesticidal amount of a fungus selected from the group consisting ofBeauveria bassianahaving the identifying characteristics ofBeauveria bassianaNRRL 30593,Metarhizium anisopliaehaving the identifying characteristics ofMetarhizium anisopliaeNRRL 30594,Beauveria bassianahaving the identifying characteristics ofBeauveria bassianaNRRL 30601,Beauveria bassianahaving the identifying characteristics ofBeauveria bassianaNRRL 30600, or mixtures thereof. Also, a method for controlling insects (e.g., pecan weevils, thediaprepesroot weevil, fall armyworm, fire ants), involving applying an effective insect biopesticidal amount of the composition to the insects or to the plants, areas or substrates infested with the insects.
