Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate efficiency of Mycotal at a concentration of 1.2 x 107 spores / ml and Trichoderma harzianum at concentrations 1.5 x 106 and 1.5 x 107 spores / ml on nymphs and adults of the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci under field conditions on eggplant, Solanum melongena. The results revealed that Mycotal, active substance is the fungus Lecanicillium muscarium, showed the highest average relative efficiency in killing nymphs and adults in Mycotal treatment, which amounted to 79.93 and 85.62%, respectively, compared with T. harzianum treatment for the two concentrations, which amounted to 60.76, 67.76% for nymphs and 69.55, 72.19% for adults, respectively.
