Each insect species was treated with entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana Metarhizium anisopliae and Verticilliun lecanii at the concentrations of 2 x 10 and less effective against Myzus Persicae. Verticilliun lecanii was more effective against Myzus Persicae and less effective against Agrotis ipsilon and Spodoptera littoralis. Metarhizium anisopliae was less effective against Agrotis ipsilon, Spodoptera littoralis and Myzus Persicae. Three concentrations of B. bassiana were tested against Agrotis ipsilon, Spodoptera littoralis and Myzus Persicae. LC and Myzus Persicae. LC50 were 2.5 x 10 and Myzus Persicae. LC50 were 3.4 x 10 P4Pspores / ml. 2.7 x 10 P4Pspores / ml. and 1.5 x 10 P4Pspores / ml. respectively. 3, 2 x 10 4 and 2 x 10 5 spores / ml. Beauveria bassiana was more effective against Agrotis ipsilon and Spodoptera littoralis50 were 2.3 x 10 4 spores / ml. 2.4 x 10 4spores / ml. and 2.7 x 10 4spores / ml. respectively. The same concentrations of M. anisopliae were tested against Agrotis ipsilon, Spodoptera littoralis4spores / ml. 1.5 x 10 4spores / ml. and 2.1 x 10 4spores / ml. respectively. The same concentrations of Verticilliun lecanii were tested against Agrotis ipsilon, Spodoptera littoralisKeywords: Evaluation, entomopathogenic fungi, Agrotis ipsilon, Spodoptera littoralis and Myzus Persicae , potato Crop. 1. Introduction The Potatoes crop in Egypt grown through the winter months and harvested in spring. In Egypt cultivated 200 thousands feddans* it produced Two millions Tons. It cultivated from mid August until mid February. Potatoes are susceptible to several insects such as cut-worms, leaf hoppers, flea beetles, Aphids and white fly. Entomopathogenic fungi are considered by some entomologists to be the best candidates for the control of aphids (Latge and Papierok, 1988, 1, 2, and numerous accounts of cereal aphids killed by entomopathogenic fungi have been documented in Europe4, 5, 6, 7 and south America 8. Also, many species of entomopathogenic fungi can kill aphids, including Conidiobolus obscures (Hall& Dunn) Remaudiere & Keller, Erynia neoaphidis Remaudiere& Hennebert, Verticilium lecanii (Zimmerman) Viegas, various species of Beauveria, and Paecilomyces farinosus In Egypt, some studies revealed the effect of entomopathogenic fungi on the population dynamics of some pests such as: Aphis craccivora 19, 20 cereal aphids 21, 22, 23, 24 Bemisia tabaci (Abdel-Raheem, et al 2009) and Spodoptera littoralis, S. exigua and nymphs of Aphis craccivora25. *feddan = 4200 m2. The present studies were aimed to evaluation of some entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana Metarhizium anisopliae and Verticilliun lecanii on Agrotis ipsilon, Spodoptera littoralis and Myzus Persicae on potato Crop in Egypt Materials and Methods Rearing technique The Agrotis ipsilon, Spodoptera littoralis and Myzus Persicae Strains used in the present studies were taken from laboratory pests and plant protection at the National Research Centre Giza, Egypt. Entomopathogenic fungi used Entomopathogenic fungi used in the present studies were Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae. The fungi were isolated from the Scrobipalpa ocellatella and Cassida vittata Kafr El-Shikh governorate and Verticilliun lecanii isolated from soil, 26, 27. Fungi Cultures Three concentrations of B. bassiana, M. anisopliae and V. lecanii were (2 x 10 3, 2 x 10 4 and 2 x 10 5 spores / ml.). The Entomopathogenic fungi were grown on peptone media (10g Peptone, 40g Dextrose, 2g Yeast extract 15g Agar and 500 ml. Chloramphenicol and completed to one liter with distilled water). The media was autoclaved at 120 °C for 20 minutes, and poured in Petri-dishes (10 cm diameter x 1.5 cm) then inoculated with the entomopathogenic fungi and kept at 25 ±2◦C and 85 ±5 R.H. The fungal isolates were re-cultured every 14-30 days and kept at 4 °C. To obtain a huge number of conidia, B. bassiana, M. anisopliae and V. lecanii isolates were propagated on wetted rice. Two Kilogram wetted rice was washed in boiled water for 10 min. and put in thermal bags. These bags were autoclaved at 120ºC for 20 min., then infected by isolates and incubated at 25 ±2ºC for 15 days. The Conidia were harvested by distilled water and filtered through cheese cloth to reduce mycelium clumps and Tween 80% was added 29. Preparation of the Concentrations Conidia of fungal isolates were harvested by rinsing with sterilized water, 0.5% Tween 80 from 14 days old culture rice media. The suspensions were filtered through cheese cloth to reduce mycelium clumping. Conidia were counted in the suspension by using a haemocytometer (Hirscmann 0.1 mm x 0.0025 mm2). The suspension was put in plastic bottles (2 liter). To restore the virulence of the isolates, it was passed through their natural host, wax moth larvae Galleria mellonella. Three concentrations were prepared, 2 x 10 3, 2 x 10 4 and 2 x 10 5 spores / ml in all isolates. Treatment Procedures Three concentrations of each agent and three replicates for each were tested on Agrotis ipsilon and Spodoptera littoralis larvae and Myzus Persicae nymphs to study the effect of these materials on larval and nymphs mortality. B. bassiana, M. anisopliae and V. lecanii were prepared with concentrations of (2 x 10 P3P, 2 x 10 P4P and 2 x 10 P5 Pspores / ml). The larvae were fed with untreated leaves when needed. A similar method of experiment was performed to estimate the effect of the three entomopathogenic materials on larvae and nymphs. The leaves were collected from the potato plants, arranged in Petri dishes and infested with larvae obtained from the laboratory colony. Discs were transferred to Petri dishes and larvae in the appropriate instar were placed in the dishes. The bioassay lasted for 10 days and the median lethal concentration (LC50, LC 90 & LT50) values were obtained by the software computer propane. The larval and nymphs mortality were evaluated daily for 2, 4, 6, 8 an 10 days. The mortality was corrected using Abbott's formula (Abbott, 1925) Insect population in treated after treatment Corrected Mortality % = 100 x 1- ----------------------------------------------------- Insect population in control after treatment. Results Agrotis ipsilon LC50 and LC90 values was more susceptible to Beauveria bassiana than Metarhizium anisopliae and V. lecanii, where LC50 and LC90 were 2.3 x 10 4, 0. 1 x 10 5 spores / ml. , 2.5 x 10 4, 1.3 x 10 5 spores / ml. and3.4 x 10 4, 2.5 x 10 5 spores / ml., respectively. The LT50s were calculated as 5.0, 5.5 and 6.5days for the three respective fungi, indicating the superiority of Beauveria bassiana over Metarhizium anisopliae and V. lecanii(table 1). Spodoptera littoralis LC50 and LC90 values was more susceptible to Metarhizium anisopliae than Beauveria bassiana and V. lecanii, where LC50 and LC90 were 1.5 x 10 4, 0. 0.5 x 10 5 spores / ml. , 2.4 x 10 4, 0. 2 x 10 5spores / ml. and 2.7 x 10 4, 2.4 x 10 5spores / ml., respectively. The LT50s were calculated as 4.5, 5.6 and 6.4days for the three respective fungi, indicating the superiority of Metarhizium anisopliae over Beauveria bassiana and V. lecanii(table 1). Myzus Persicae LC50 and LC90 values confirmed that M. Persicae was more susceptible to V. lecanii than Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana, where LC50 and LC90 were 1.5 x 10 4, 0.0 1 x 10 5 spores / ml. , 2.1 x 10 4, 1.01 x 10 5spores / ml. and 2.7 x 10 4, 0. 3 x 10 5 spores / ml., respectively. The LT50s were calculated as 4.5, 5.5 and 6.4days for the three respective fungi, indicating the superiority of V. lecanii over Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana (table 1).

Discussion Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Verticilliun lecanii are naturally fungi that are found in the soil of most fields 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, & 35. These fungi are entomopathogenic which causing disease to insects. Fungal infection begins when conidia (asexual spores, the seeds of a fungus) attach to insect's cuticle, the spores germinate and penetrate the insect's skin and enter the host. B. bassiana was the most effects on the larvae of A. ipsilon than M. anisopliae and V. lecanii, but M. anisopliae was the most effects on the larvae of S. littoralis than B. bassiana and V. lecanii. V. lecanii was the most effects on the nymphs of M. Persicae these results according with.36, 37, 38, 39. Reference
