Abstract
The red pumpkin beetle (RPB), Aulacophora foveicollis, becomes a notable thread to cucurbitaceous family. The present investigation studied the efficiency of Beauveria bassiana (B8) isolate against RPB. The results revealed that, they secured lowest lethal concentration (9 × 103) besides stunning growth over treated adult RPB. The gradual increase and dispersal of hyphea from thoracic region of the insect to all over the body was studied clearly in the present investigation. From this study, it was strongly recommended that, the B. bassiana would be a promising biocontrol agent and suggested for the field RPB management.
