Yerli entomopatojenik fungus izolatları ile üç ticari entomopatojenik fungus ürününün Sitophilus oryzae L. ve Tribolium confusum du Val üzerindeki etkinlikleri

In the present study, a total of 17 indigenous entomopathogenic fungal (EPF) isolates (Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. – 14, Clonostachys rosea (Link) Schroers 2, Isaria farinosa (Holmsk.) Fr. 1) obtained from soil samples collected Antalya province (southwestern part Turkey) and three commercial EPF products [i.e. Priority® (Paecilomyces fumosoroseus), Nibortem® (Verticillium lecanii) Nostalgist® bassiana)] were evaluated for their efficacy against 7–10-day-old adults Sitophilus oryzae L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Tribolium confusum du Val. (Col.: Tenebrionidae) under laboratory conditions. All tested at 1 × 107 conidia/ml suspensions both insect species. The results single-dose pathogenicity assays showed that B. (BbDm-1, BbKp-1 BbMp-1) caused mortalities 96.7%, 100% 93.3% in S. oryzae, 100%, 96.7% T. confusum, respectively, 14 days after inoculation whereas all achieved ranging 56.7% 63.3% 66.7% confurusum. addition, molecular phylogenetic analyses based on ITS region sequence indicated effective high similarity (99%) with other GenBank. Overall suggest these have potential management confusum.
