Abstract: | The use of Verticillium lecanii as a biological control agent against the bean rust fungus Uromyces appendiculatus var. appendiculatus in the field and in the glasshouse The deuteromycete V. lecanii parasites uredo- and teliospores of the bean-rust-fungus U. appendiculatus var. appendiculatus. We investigated the conditions for the use of the hyperparasite as biological control agent in the field and in glasshouses. The growth rate of the hyperparasite was 0,3 cm per day at 25 °C. Under suitable conditions in the lab (25 °C, 100 % r. h.) it took about 20 days to invade 100 % of uredospores and 65 % of teliospores. We failed to prevent the spread of bean-rust-fungus spores in the field, but we succeeded in the glasshouse by 68 %, compared to the untreated controls, using the hyperparasite V. lecanii as biological control agent. |
