ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to find the optimal natural substrate for spore multiplication of entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bals. -Criv.) Vuill. 1912 and to evaluate the effectiveness of B. bassiana for the management of larvae of cockchafer Melolontha melolontha (L.). (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) and click beetles Agriotes lineatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Elateridae). In laboratory conditions, among four types of grains, wheat was the most appropriate substrate for mass production of B. bassiana spores was wheat. The highest mortality of white grubs and wireworms was observed five weeks after inoculation B. bassiana spores in concentration 106 and was respectively 27.5% and 30%.
