Fourteen isolates of Beauveria spp. and eleven isolates of Metarhizium spp., entomopathogenic fungi, were selected to screen for entomopathogenic efficiency to control 2nd instar larvae of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. The median lethal times (LT50) were estimated at 108 conidia ml-1 concen...
