BACKGROUND The two-spotted mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is one of the most serious mite pests of crops throughout the world. Biocontrol of the mite with fungal agents has long been paid much attention because of the development of insecticide resistance and the severe restriction of chemical pesticides. In this study, the efficacy of submerged conidia of the entomopathogenic fungus Isaria ca...

The efficacy of topical, leaf residue, and soil drench applications with Isaria fumosorosea blastospores (Ifr strain 3581) was assessed for the management of the citrus root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.). Blastospores of Ifr were applied topically at a rate of 10⁷ blastospores mL-1 on both the larvae and adults, and each insect stage was incubated in rearing cups with artificial diet at 25...

For the preservation of biological diversity soil microorganisms, including entomopathogenic fungi which are natural enemies pests, areas that subject to anthropogenic transformation as little possible great importance. River valleys may be such areas. The aim study was identification types fungi, well investigate intensity their occurrence in upper genetic levels meadow muck-glial soils locate...

Abstract Background Effects of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF); Beauveria bassiana , Isaria fumosorosea and Pupureocillium lilacinum against tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), which is one the most economic pests tomato, were investigated in Petri dish, pot greenhouse experiments. Commercial bioinsecticide Met 52 was also used In dish trials, I. applied to third ...
