Corrected mortality percentage of four EPF at concentration 4×108 conidia/ml (A); conc. 4×104 conidia/ml (B) against adult female T. urticae (green strain).
Percentage mortality of four entomopathogenic fungi at a concentration of 4×108 conidia/ml (A) concentration 4×104 conidia/ml (B) against adult female T. urticae (red strain).
Healthy red (A) and green (B) strains of T. urticae; C represent infection by T. longibrachiatum; D shows M. anisopliae infection while E and F indicate B. bassiana and V. lecanii infection respectively against the green strain of T. urticae; G represents infection by T. longibrachiatum, H shows infection with M. anisopliae, while I and J indicate B. bassiana and V. lecanii infection respectively against the red strain of T. urticae.
