The specie Dysdercus peruvianus commonly know as “cotton stainer” constitute one of de plagues of great importance in the cultivation of cotton because it cause losses estimated in 16% in Peru. The objective of this study was to isolated and to evaluated strains of entomopathogenic fungi as potential agents to the control of the “cotton stainer” under laboratory conditions. From the “cotton stainer” D. peruvianus (Hemiptera: Pirrhocoridae) naturally infected in the field, it were obtained 6 strains from Acremonium sp and 1 from Scopulariopsis sp. to determinate the pathogenicity and virulence on D. peruvianus one strain from genus Acremonium and another from Scopulariopsis were selected. Besides was tested an isolated from Beauveria sp. obtained from Schistocerca piceifrons peruviana (Orthoptera). Bioassays were performed on fourth instar nymphs of Dysdercus peruvianus and the conidial concentrations used were 3.7x108, 1.9x108, 9.4x107 conidia/mL to Beauveria sp, Acremonium sp and Scopulariopsis sp respectively. At these concentrations was found that the mortality percentage at twenty days after treatment was of 83.3%, 80% and 23.3% to Beauveria sp, Acremonium sp and Scopulariopsis sp respectively. The strain Beauveria sp showed more virulence against D. peruvianus since it reached the highest mortality (83.3%), whereas the strain Acremonium sp was the most aggressive on the insect, because when the lethality time was determined for the 50% (LT50) of the locust population, it needed only 3.8 days The fungus Scopulariopsis sp. to the concentration of conidia tested did not show an important mortality against the fourth instar nymphs of the “cotton stainer”.
