“…The amount of conidia is vital due to its major role in the transmission and infection of entomopathogenic fungi (Trizelia, 2005). Alavo et al (2002) demonstrated that the attachment of conidia and its germination, play a significant role in the ability of the fungi to successfully penetrate and infect the host insects. Since chitin and proteins are an enormous source of energy in insect integrins, adding both substances decreases the viability of B. bassiana.…”

Saputro TB, Prayogo Y, Rohman FL, Alami NH. 2019. The virulence improvement of Beauveria bassiana in infecting Cylas formicarius modulated by various chitin based compounds. Biodiversitas 20: 2486-2493. Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is one of alternative carbohydrate source with an important role in food production, animal feed industries, and as raw materials for other derivatives. However, severe losses are constantly occured in its production due to a notorious pest known as sweet potato weevil (Cylas formicarius). The chemical insecticides commonly used to treat the pest, but have not been efficient in eliminating C.formicarius. Beauveria bassiana is well known as a biological control agent, has been identified to effectively eliminate the pest. The aim of this research is to observe the optimum concentration of several chitin-based compounds in improving the virulence of B. bassiana. The research was conducted by the addition of chitin from various sources -insects, crustaceans and mollusk shells in a growth medium of B. Bassiana. Moreover, conidia produced by B.bassiana was exposed to C.formicarius to investigate the mortality rate of this insect. The results showed four different characteristics of colonies -velvety, wooly, pellicular, and farinaceous. The 1% chitin from Tellina sp, (P9), was found to be the best treatment which increased the growth of the colony diameter attaining 6.7cm in 20 days, increased the conidia viability that reaches 93.5%. In addition, the highest mortality percentage of C. formicarius was 91.67% in P9 at 6 days after infection. Overall, this research gave new potential sources of chitin that can be applied in improving the virulence of B. Bassiana in eliminating C. formicarius.

“…Verticillum lecanii has been reported to be very effective on some Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera and Diptera species along with thrips, aphids, coccids and mites (Alavo et al, 2001). Soil moisture affects the permanence of V. lecanii, and it is the question of the loss of the viability of conidies in the soil when moisture is not at an adequate level (Storey & Gardner, 1988).…”

The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), one of the main pests of agricultural areas, causing occurrence of significant economic losses if no control measure is taken. In recent years, the use of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF), an alternative method of control, has come into the prominence. EPF have a different place among insect pathogens in terms of direct infection of hosts through the integument. The most common fungal pathogens of F. occidentalis are Verticillium lecanii, Beauveria bassiana, Entomophtholares spp. and Metarhizium anisopliae. In Turkey, only V. lecanii and B. bassiana are commercially licensed against F. occidentalis. In this review, the usage possibilities of these two fungi, as well as the use of other species in controlling the pest will be discussed.

“…In order to improve the utilization of entomopathogenic fungi against insect pest, all factors that contribute to the side effects of entomopathogenic fungi on natural enemies need to be understood [13]. Based on this point of view, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of the entomopathogenic fungi B. bassiana to control mungbean pest in terms of the level of insect population suppression and seed weight.…”

Abstract. In order to reduce the use of insecticide, the application of Beauveria bassiana may be an alternative control. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of B. bassiana for controlling mungbean pest. The experiment was conducted in Ngale Research Station from February to May 2017, using randomized block design, seven treatments, four replicates. The treatments were frequency of application; P1= six times, P2= five times, P3= four times, P4= three times, P5= once, P6= full protection using chemical insecticide, and P7= no protection. Application of B. bassiana four to six times can suppress the population of Empoasca sp., Riptortus linearis, and Maruca testulalis, but did not significantly different with the application of chemical insecticide. Based on the seed weight, application of B. bassiana six times (659.7 g/plot) led to significantly high as compare with the application of chemical insecticide (374 g/plot). Application of B. bassiana tended to be secure to natural enemies, especially Coccinella sp., Oxyopes javanus, and Paederus fuscipes. Both of those predators were not found on the application of chemical insecticide. Hence, B. bassiana can be recommended as a biological agent in integrated pest management component on mungbean because of effective and environmentally friendly.
