Adult insects were dipped in conidial suspensions (10 8 conidia/ml), returned to maize or beans, respectively, and retained at 25°-28°C and 60% r.h. B. brongniarti caused 89% mortality in adult A. obtectus within 15 days and 47% mortality in adult S. zeamais; M. anisopliae caused less than 50% mortality in either species.
