Studies on Beauveria bassiana isolated from the cocoa mirid, Helopeltis theobromae

A white entomogenous fungus was found growing on Helopeltis theobromae, a serious pest of cocoa. With the aid of light and scanning electron microscopy techniques, the fungus was identified as Beauveria bassiana. The fungus grew and sporulated on several artificial media at temperatures between 5° a...
