Potential of the strain of entomopathogenic fungus Isaria fumosorosea CCM 8367 as a biological control agent against Cameraria ohridella and other pests

Strain CCM 8367 of Isaria fumosorosea (syn. Paecilomyces fumosoroseus) was  isolated in the Czech Republic from lepidopteran pest and is deposited  as a patent culture in the Czech Collection of Microorganisms in Brno. The  aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of this strain on Cameraria  ohridella, Leptinotarsa decemlineata and Spodoptera littoralis. Comparison  with Apopka 97 strain isolated from commercial biopesticide PreFeRal WG  (Biobest, Belgium) was made.
