Notes: Symptomatology, pathogenicity, mass culture, field evaluation, epizootiology, integrated control and safety are covered in this report. Recommendations include artificial inoculation of V. lecanii for intitiating epizootics before their natural occurrence, maintenance of medium cover shade in coffee plantations which facilitate epizootics, careful selection of pesticides which are less harmful to the entomopathogenic fungus, and restoration of inoculum potential after fungicide sprays.
