Application of the entomopathogenic fungi (EPF), as an alternative to conventional chemical pesticides, represents a safe sustainable crop protection method for integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. More than 700 species of EPF are used as biological control agents, with particular emphasis on Metarhizium spp. (Humber, 2008). Approximately 39% of mycoinsecticides based on genus Metarhizium as an active ingredient (Faria and
Wriaght, 2007), probably due to their high host specificity, non-persistence, and eco-friendly with a unique mode of action against target pests. M. anisopliae showed high mortality rates against the stored grain pests Sitophilus granarius and S. oryza depending on conidial concentrations and the absence or presence of food (Ak, 2019), while evaluation of different strains of M. anisopliae against Spodoptera exigua and S. littoralis showed a high accumulative mortality rate (100%) against 2nd and 4th larval instars of S. littoralis and 1st and 3rd instars of S. exigua larvae (Anand and Tiwary, 2009; Han et al., 2014)
