Abstract
Zoophthora radicans Brefeld was tested for control of Plutella xylostella L. in a caged‐field trial. No infection was seen in control cages, but between 36% and 68% of larvae in live samples, and 38% and 55% of larvae at the final harvest, were infected in inoculated cages, suggesting the biological control potential of this fungus.
