Abstract:Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) is a highly destructive pest that poses a significant threat to grains and their derived products, such as flour, on a global scale. In this study, the effects of two entomopathogenic fungi (EPF), namely Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, as well as the predator bug Xylocoris flavipes (Reuter), on T. castaneum were investigated. The results of the study demonstrated that B. bassiana exhibited greater toxicity towards the third larval instar of T. castaneum compared to M… Show more
