Abstract<\/h1>\n

The efficacy of three native isolates of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Hypocreales), with concentration of 1\u00d7107 <\/sup>spore\/ml, were tested on potato tuber moth Phthorimaea operculella (Gelechiidae:Lepidoptera) under non-refrigerated storage conditions (28\u030a\u00b12 C and R.H=50%\u00b1 5). The results showed the efficiency of the three isolates in the studied concentration to control the pest in store. These isolates showed superiority on control, where infection rates of tubers were 67, 83, 87.9, 100% for isolates C, D, B and control respectively, and reduced the severity of infection to 50.7, 63.2, 70.8, and 99.2% for isolates C, B, D and control respectively. The averages of emerged adults were 25, 15, 6.3, and 44.3 adults for isolates C, B, C and control respectively. Results show<\/em>ed that the fungus B. bassiana is an important control agent in integrated pest management for potato tuber moth in non-refrigerated stores.<\/p>\n

Key words:<\/strong> Potato tuber moth, Beauveria bassiana, Phthorimaea operculella, Biological control.<\/p>\n
