Abstract
Zoophthora radicans Brefeld was tested for control of Plutella xyloste lla L in a caged-field trial No infection was seen in control cages, b ut between 36% and 68% of larvae in live samples, and 38% and 55% of l arvae at the final harvest, were infected in inoculated cages, suggest ing the biological control potential of this fungus.
