title: Evaluation of effect of Metarhizium anisopliae on reduction in the number of Blattella germanica L.
abstract: Estimates were given of effectiveness of infestation of B. germanica L. By M. anisopliae strains originating from different regions of Poland. The investigated strains caused high mortality among experimental insects. Especially effective in reducing numbers of B. germanica were strains Browsk and Pruszyn, which even at a low density of spores caused high mortality of the test insects.
