The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana is a potential candidate for biological control of a variety of pests. Efforts are being made for its use in the control of Lygus spp. in the Mississippi Delta. The impact of this entomopathogenic fungus on non-target organisms is critical information for its use. The pathogenicity of B. bassiana on lady bugs, green lace wings, pirate bugs, jumping spiders and crabs spiders were evaluated. The LD50 and LC50 will be presented and discussed.
