This study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of Metarhizium anisopliae fungi as a biocontrol agent for P. fuscipes, The pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae against the beetle P. fuscipes were tested using three teclmiques; soil infection, bait infection, and horizontal transmission via endo-cannibalistic behaviour.
