Abstract: Sesamia inferens is an important insect pest in the southern rice-growing region of China. In order to find the efficient biocontrol agent against S. inferens, 10 Beauveria bassiana strains with good cultural characters were obtained from dead overwintering S. inferens larvae, strains with high virulence against S. inferens were screened in laboratory. Strain SI027, with high virulence against S. inferens was obtained. LC50 of SI027 on the 3rd instars of S. inferens was 5.28×105 conidia/mL, which was detected 10 d after treatment. The LT50 values on the 3rd instars of S. inferens which were treated with 1×106, 1×107 and 1×108 conidia/mL of SI027 conidial suspension were 7.26 d, 4.65 d and 3.38 d, respectively.
