Bug is an important pest of rice plants because it can reduce the quality and quantity production, so essential to control its population. One efforts bugs use biological agent Lecanicillium lecanii does not cause resistance harmful human health. This study aims determine effect number doses application in controlling population walang sangit (rice bugs) cultivation. The research method used a ...

This study investigates the mechanisms as well as strategies for purification and characterization of potential enzymes involved in pathogenesis of entomopathogenic fungi. The test strain of Verticillium lecanii that was screened, during the present investigation, proved to be an efficient producer of protein and polysaccharide degrading enzymes (amylase, protease, and lipase), hence indicating...

The growth of entomopathogenic fungi Lecanicillium lecanii is strongly related to the media in increasing sporulation, enhancing its effectiveness infecting target pests. This study aims obtain L. propagation with highest conidia production, and increased virulence on Cylas formicarius . first stage alternative selection consists of: Potato Dextrose Agar; maize, rice; bran. second infectivity b...

Fungal entomopathogens are widely distributed across natural and managed systems, with numerous host species and likely a wide range of community impacts. While the potential for fungal pathogens to provide biological control has been explored in some detail, less is known about their community interactions. Here we investigate the effects of fungal epizootics of the entomopathogen Lecanicilliu...
