Studies on the susceptibility ofOryctes rhinoceros to some entomogenous fungi

Cultures ofMetarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sor.,Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill.,B. tenella (Delac.) Siem.,Aspergillus fumigatus Fres. andPaecilomyces farinosus (Dicks, exFr.) Brown & Smith were tested for pathogenicity toOryctes rhinoceros L. All the long spored cultures ofM. anisopliae isolated fromOryctes spp. were equally pathogenic toO. rhinoceros. Most of the 23 short spored cultures from other insects caused lesions onOryctes larvae but only 5 isolates were lethal. SomeBeauveria isolates caused brown lesions on larvae but generally these larvae developed into normal adults. One isolate ofB. bassiana fromCarpocapsa pomonella L. killed larvae at the time of pupation. Cultures ofA. fumigatus andP. farinosus were not pathogenic. A method for growingM. anisopliae on oats for large scale field use is described.

Résumé Des cultures deMetarhizium anisopliae, deBeauveria bassiana, deB. tenella, d'Aspergillus fumigatus et dePaecilomyces farinosus ont été examinées en fonction de leurs effets pathogènes surOryctes rhinoceros. Toutes les cultures à spores longues deM. anisopliae isolées desOryctes spp. ont été également pathogènes pourO. rhinoceros. La plupart des 23 cultures à spores courtes obtenues à partir d'autres insectes ont causé des lésions sur les larves d'Oryctes mais cinq seulement ont été mortelles. Certaines souches deBeauveria ont causé des lésions brunes sur les larves mais, en général, ces larves ont donné des adultes normaux. Une culture deB. bassiana isolée deCarpocapsa pomonella a tué les larves au moment de leur métamorphose en chrysalides. Les cultures d'A. fumigatus et deP. farinosus n'ont pas eu d'effet pathogène. Une méthode de culture deM. anisopliae sur avoine pour l'utiliser sur de grandes surfaces est décrite.

Synergistic effect of entomogenous fungi on some insecticides against Bihar hairy caterpillar Spilarctia obliqua (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae)

A number of fungal parasites infect a wide range of insects and cause epizootics from time to time. Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin and Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin are two of the major disease-causing fungi in insects. Investigations were carried out to study the effect of these fungi on the toxicity of endosulfan, imidacloprid, lufenuron, diflubenzuron, dimethoate and oxydemeton methyl against 10-11 days old larvae of Spilarctia obliqua (Walker). For some products the combination treatments showed higher dose mortality response than the sole treatment of fungal conidia or the insecticide. The combination of insecticides with B. bassiana showed 1.26-35.8 fold increase in toxicity of insecticides over sole treatment, while the increase was 1.05-72.0 fold in case of M. anisopliae. Imidacloprid 17.8 SL and oxydemeton methyl 25EC may be used in combination with these fungi for management of S. obliqua.     

Metabolites from freshwater aquatic microalgae and fungi as potential natural pesticides

Microorganisms are recognized worldwide as the major source of secondary metabolites with mega diverse structures and promissory biological activities. However, as yet many of them remain little or under-explored like the microbiota from freshwater aquatic ecosystems. In the present review, we undertook a recompilation of metabolites reported with pesticidal properties from microalgae (cyanobacteria and green algae) and fungi, specifically from freshwater aquatic habitats.     

Guidelines for the registration of entomogenous fungi as insecticides

Guidelines have been formulated for registration of entomogenous fungi. It is recommended that producers wishing to register a mycoinsecticide supply detailed information concerning the basic biology, host range and characterization of the strain involved as well as details of the manufacturing, quality control, use, field application, efficacy and safety of the pathogen. The recommendations for safety-testing to warm-blooded animals are arranged in a 3-tier system to facilitate decision making for registration authorities. The safety protocols include infection, toxicity, allergenicity and mutagenicity tests. Recommendations are also made to monitor possible effects on people who handle the product during manufacture or application. Information on the activity of the fungus to plants and non-target vertebrates and invertebrates is also required.
