Abstract
An oil based formulation of an Australian isolate of Metarhizium flavo viride was applied as an ultra low volume spray against nymphal bands of Chortoicetes terminifera in spring 1993. Up to 41% of sprayed locus ts, sampled 1 d after treatment, died from the disease when incubated at 20-28 degrees C. Field observations 21 d after spraying showed that the density of the treated nymphal bands was one-third that of the co ntrols.
