Abstract
Swietenia macrophylla is one of the important commercial tree species, widely being cultivated in farmlands in India due to its high market demand, attractive wood colour, and quality. The present study was conducted at Research Nursery, ICFRE-IWST, Bangalore from April 2021 to March, 2022. A hundred mahogany (1-year old) plants were heavily infested with stem borer, Xylosandrus compactus. Application of Beauveria bassiana at the concentration of 1x108 spores/ml showed promising results in the management of the stem borer and caused more than 80% adult mortality in the nurseries. Key words: mahogany, Swietenia, borer, nursery and growth
