Controlling fungi that colonize eggs of the western corn rootworm in the laboratory

Abstract: When incubated on filter or blotter paper in the laboratory, eggs of the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae), were usually colonized and killed by the fungus Cylindrocarpon destructans (Zins.) Scholten. The effects of type of paper used during incubation and boiling, rearing substrate (paper or soil), pH, and antimicrobial chemicals on percent egg hatch and fungal colonization were evaluated. Neither paper type nor boiling the paper affected hatch or fungal… Show more
