This study evaluates the potential of organic extracts of two strains entomopathogenic fungus <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> (CG71 and UNI40) as a biocontrol agent on <i>A. diaperinus</i> and promotes the phytochemical investigation. The effective percentages of mortalities were 95.97% (UNI40 methanolic extract), 69.23, 64.64, and 50.39% (CG 71 methanolic, ethyl acetate and butanol extracts). However, there was a decrease in the lesser mealworms susceptibility in relation to the use of insecticides and extracts. The metabolites 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furanoic acid, dipicolinic acid and monomethyl dipicolinate were isolated from ethyl acetate extract, and <i>β</i>-adenosine of butanolic extract of B. bassiana CG 71. In addition, the cyclodepsipeptides were identified in methanolic extracts of the two strains. The insecticide activity results indicated that the <i>B. bassiana</i> extracts are an alternative to <i>A. diaperinus</i> control.</p> <p></p> Lesser mealworm;phytochemical profile;entomopathogenic fungal;biological control 2019-08-16
