“…Determinadas características de alguns hifomicetos, como esporulação e germinação rápida, permitem que o processo de infecção seja completado em poucas horas, com grande produção de conídios, os quais maximizam a dispersão dos patógenos. Algumas formulações comerciais de fungos entomopatogênicos para o controle de pulgões em cultivos protegidos já podem ser encontradas no mercado internacional, reduzindo populações da praga, principalmente em plantas ornamentais (Helyer et al 1995, Wraight et al 2000.…”

Fig. 4. Mortalidade diária confirmada de M. persicae após inoculação com os fungos entomopatogênicos L. lecanii (A) e P. fumosoroseus (B) (25 ± 1ºC; 70 ± 10% UR; fotofase 12h).Concluindo, as espécies de pulgões A. gossypii e M. persicae são suscetíveis aos isolados dos fungos entomopatogênicos estudados, em condições de laboratório, sendo M. persicae mais suscetível que A. gossypii.

“…Commercial formulations of B. bassiana are used curatively to suppress larger outbreaks of arthropod pests (Wraight et al 2000;Faria and Wraight 2001;Inglis et al 2001;Jacobson et al 2001;Shipp et al 2003). As both A. swirskii and B. bassiana target whitefly and thrips, it is natural to consider them as potentially complementary intraguild BCAs: A. swirskii for preventative control and B. bassiana for curative control.…”

Compatibility of Amblyseius swirskii with Beauveria bassiana: two potentially complimentary biocontrol agents

et al. 2016

The two biocontrol agents Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) and Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) have the potential to complement one another as part of an integrated pest management programme. While both can suppress whitefly and thrips infestations in protected crops, A. swirskii is primarily used preventatively whereas B. bassiana can be used as a curative treatment at higher pest levels. With this concomitant use in mind, the research presented here aimed to identify potential negative effects of the commercial B. bassiana strain GHA on A. swirskii in a laboratory study. Adult A. swirskii were found to be susceptible to B. bassiana infection with slight to moderate virulence (20.74 ± 3.89 to 48.33 % ± 3.07) depending on the type of exposure and with a reduction in fecundity over time. There was however no negative effect on juvenile survival neither on dry residue nor on the offspring of infected mites. Thus, these two biocontrol agents do have the potential to be complementary. Further trials in the field are still required before a final conclusion can be reached.

The virulence against the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, was evaluated with entomopathogenic fungus Paecilomyces lilacinus (Thom) Samson HY-4 which is isolated from coleopteran insect and registered to Korean and US patents. Virulence tests were conducted with conidial suspensions (1.5 ×10 6 conidia/ml) of P. lilacinus HY-4 against T. urticae adults and positive results were recorded in laboratory conditions. The spraying device was also developed for the efficient and exact evaluation of treatment. The developed spraying device was named as SD-tower sprayer and its efficacy of spraying conidia was evaluated. The accumulated mortality caused by P. lilacinus HY-4 using SD-tower spray was about 73% at 6 days after inoculation. This suggest that the isolate P. lilacinus HY-4 may be considered as promising for a new approach to prevent adult infestations by T. urticae.
