Abstract
The effects of the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana on the mature larvae of Plutella xylostella under two temperature regimes was studied. All the isolates were significantly pathogenic against P. xy lostella larvae. Isolate 274 and 373 caused a higher mortality at 20 /- 5 and 24 degrees C respectively. These results also showed that the chi(2) for goodness of fit for the regression showed considerable hom ogeneity in most of the isolates.
