Abstract
⺠Three mycoinsecticides were tested against ambrosia beetle Xylosandrus germanus. ⺠Beauveria bassiana Naturalis and Metarhizium brunneum F52 were more virulent than B. bassiana GHA against adult females. ⺠Spraying did not affect initial tunneling activity, but resulted in reduced numbers forming galleries and producing brood. ⺠Broods from treated females were smaller in size, and some had up to 100% of the progeny infected.
