This study showed the effectiveness of the entompathogenic fungus metarhizium anisopliae var acridum (Metsch.) Sorok on the nymphal instars of schistocerca gregaria (Forskal).Where the early nymphal instars (1st ,2 nd and 3rd) appeared to die faster than the late nymphal instars (4th and 5th) for given doses of inoculums of the fungus also as the exposure period increased the mortality percentage increased
