“…The Mediterranean fruit fly C. capitata was obtained from the rearing laboratory of Horticultural Pest Department, Plant Protection Research Institute (PPRI), Agricultural Research Center (ARC), Giza, Egypt. Flies fed on sugar and protein hydrolysate in a ratio 3:1, respectively (El-Sayed 1979), in addition to a source of water. Produced eggs were collected daily and reared on the artificial rearing medium described by Tanaka et al (1969).…”

The use of pesticides against the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) as a tool to control the pest has become an obstacle to the fresh agricultural products export to many countries that restrict pesticides residues. The effectiveness of three local strains of entomopathogenic fungi: Metarhizium anisopliae, Beauveria bassiana, and Paecilomyces lilacinus against the adult and immature stages of C. capitata was evaluated under laboratory conditions. Obtained results showed that M. anisopliae and B. bassiana were superior in its pathogenicity and potential to kill the pest than P. lilacinus. These results may be important to be used for the control of the pest in IPM program.
