Abstract Background Agriculture crops such as tomatoes and wheat are frequently targeted by insect pests which have a significant negative impact on the agricultural economies. The deployment of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) for control is an important alternative to synthetic insecticides. EPF, Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, has been reported widely suitable biological agent many pests...

Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are cosmopolitan soil borne pathogens that cause epizootics in various insect orders. EPF isolates of Metarhizium brunneum and M. pinghaense have shown the potential for use as biological agents important agricultural pests. The aim current study was to test persistence on apple bark over a period three weeks, under laboratory conditions. Apple sprayed with conidial...

Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2019 yılında Sakarya İli yayla ve meralarından alınan toprak örneklerinden elde edilen entomopatojen fungusların izolasyonunun, teşhisinin yapılması Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorokin, 1883 (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) olarak teşhisi yapılan beş adet izolatın (S43/1, S43/2, S43/3, S42/1, S42/2), Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White, 1919) javanica (Treub, 1885) (T...

Fungi are ubiquitous and their spores found in the air outside within built environment. We investigated fungal species present a teaching laboratory at Shepherd University. Airborne fungi were captured passively three sites on two different culture media. Viable isolated to pure then identified by DNA barcode using internal transcribed spacer region of ribosomal DNA. Twenty-four isolates order...
