A novel bioassay to evaluate the potential of Beauveria bassiana strain NI8 and the insect growth regulator novaluron against Lygus lineolaris on a non-autoclaved solid artificial diet.

lineolaris Novaluron had a highly significant effect on mortality of 2-I of L. lineolaris at all evaluation times, Day 3 ( F = 33.44; df = 2, 17; P < 0.01), Day 5 ( F = 42.20; df = 2, 17; P < 0.01), and Day 10 ( F = 14.72; df = 2, 17; P < 0.01), when compared with the water control and B. bassiana treatment ( Table 2 ).
