ABSTRACT: The objective of this study work was to evaluate the efficiency of the fungusBeauveria bassiana (isolate CG 716) to controlSpoodptera frugiperda and Rhopalosiphum maidis on maize. Front this, was set up in randomized blocks split plots design, with 10 treatments and four replications. Treatments were applied to plots: B. bassiana formulated in vegetable oil at doses of 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 x 1012 conidia ha-1, lambda-cyhalothrin (7.5 a.i. ha-1) and control (no application). Applications were made weekly. Assessments were performed before each application of the products, collecting 10 consecutive plants per plot for subsequent and storing in plastic bag from destruction of the whorl of maize and counting the number of fall armyworm larvae, aphids and natural enemies in laboratory. There were no significant differences among treatments in relation to the population ofS. frugiperda larvae and R. maidis in corn fields treated or not treated with of defensives applications, however, higher number of R. maidis was observed on the conventional cultivar at 40 days after emergence (DAE) treated with the bioinsecticide B. bassiana at a dose of 2.0 x 1012 conidia ha-1. B. bassiana associated withBt technology does not show satisfactory results to controlS. frugiperda .
