Spraying of Beauveria bassiana isolated from the sweet potato weevil, Cylas formicarius, at 1.6 × 10^4 conidia/ml at planting and rootstockformation time, and broadcasting of soybean seeds containing B. bassiana into the rows at planting were effective for control of the sweet potato weevil in field experiments. Application of B. bassiana isolated from the honey bee at 1 × 10^6 conidia/ml at planting and rootstock formation time was the best among 5 strains tested. All treated plots were significantly different at the 5% level compared with the control plots, based on damage rate(%) and number of weevils per kilogram of sweet potato.
