Abstract
The insect-pathogenic fungusMetarhizium anisopliae attacks larvae of the black vine weevil,Otiorhynchus sulcatus, an important pest of soft fruit and ornamental plants. In trials on strawberries and potted ornamental plants growing outdoors, a strain of this fungus has given promising results for control of the pest. Further work is required to determine the most effective dose rates, methods and timing of application.
