Abstract
Two species of Bacillus, B. thuringiensis and B. sphaericus were isolated f rom Hyphantria cunea and Pieris brassicae, respectively. These bacteria wer e identified and tested as a biological control agents against the hazelnut pests, Gypsonoma dealbana, Euproctis chrysorrhoea, Melolontha melolontha a nd Agelastica alni. B. thuringiensis and B. sphaericus have 93 and 29% inse cticidal activities on G. dealbana, 58 and 37% on E. chrysorrhoea, 44 and 3 2% on M. melolontha and 24 and 38% on A. alni respectively.
