Biological Control of Fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae in the Bluefly Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

The aims of this study are to find out the biological efficiency of the fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae in some instar of the bluefly Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae).The study was done Samarra University in controlled conditions of 28 ± 3 °C and a relative humidity of 65 ± 2%.with a lighting period of 16 hours per day.The droplet suspension is prepared by growing it on Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDB) medium in a flask of 250 ml by 150 ml of the used medium.M. anisopliae caused 89.29% for the first instar at 1×10 5 spore/ml after 72 h.M. anisopliae caused lowest mortality 67.43% at 1×10 3 spore / ml after 24 h, B. bassiana caused 85.76% for the first instar at 1×10 5 spore/ml after 72h, while B. bassiana caused 68.40% at 1×10 3 spore / ml after 24 h.M. anisopliae caused 78.03% of females and 72.35% of male at 1 × 10 5 spore / ml after 72h.B. bassiana caused 74.35% for female and 62.63 % for male at 1 x 10 5 spore / ml after 72 h. of treatment.
