The study was conducted to investigate the behaviour and development of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana exposed to UV-C rays and exposure periods under laboratory conditions in pupae of the apple moth Cydia pomonella L. The results indicated that fungus exposed to UV-C rays for 5 minutes became more effective in controlling moths, compared with concentrations (2.25× 104, 105, 106 and 107 spore/ml) of fungus exposed to UV-C rays for 10 minutes. The results also showed that pupae and insects emerging from them at the age of (1-2) days were more sensitive to fungus concentrations than pupae at the age of (10-12). As the percentage of emergence decreased, with the increase in fungus concentrations. Furthermore, the levels of proteins in the blood for insects produced from pupae aged (1-2) and (10-12) days decreased to 8.30 and 16.10 µg/ml ,respectively, when were exposed to the irradiated fungus B. bassiana for 5 minutes at a concentration of 2.25x107 spores/ml. Compared to insects produced from pupae exposed to non-irradiated pathogenic fungi, that was 20.12 and 25.15 µg/ml, respectively, and in comparison with insects produced from pupae exposed to the fungus for 10 minutes at the age of (1-2) and (10-12) days, respectively, as it reached 12.50 and 26.10 µg/ml and for the same concentration. In addition to a decrease in the levels of sugars in the blood, reaching 20.00 and 24.00 ml/ µg in insects produced from pupae aged (1-2) and (10-12) days, respectively, exposed to the irradiated fungus for 5 minutes and with the same concentration. The percentages of blood components decreased quantitatively and qualitatively, as the number of hemocytes for insects that emerged from pupae exposed to the irradiated fungus for 5minutes reached 70 and 95 cells/ml, respectively, compared to 92 and 110 cells/ml for insects that emerged from pupae exposed to the irradiated fungus for 10minutes and with the same concentration.
