ABSTRACT The efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi [Beavueria bassiana (Bb08, Bb10) and Isaria fumosorosea (Ifr)] isolated from different regions Southern Tamil Nadu, India was assessed against red cotton stainer, Dysdercus cingulatus. All the tested isolates showed 100% mortality. B. such as Bb08, Bb10 an I. exemplified significant mortality among tested. LC50, LC90 correlation coefficient were calculated for Ifr unveiled lowest LC50 (5.9 x 105 , 6.6 2.6 105) (1 109 7.3 108 3.9 108) value...
