Isolates selected based on their easy mass production and DNA extraction for molecular analysis.
Different literals in each column indicate statistic differences in the larvae reduction among the different fungal isolates ().
a, b, c, d, e, f, and g literals indicate the significant comparison between means.
Statistical significance criteria were based on the Kruskal-Wallis analysis.
