“…Previous studies on B. brongniartii have only explained the pathogenic ability as well as lethal and sub lethal effects of this fungus against different insect pests (Fan et al, 2013;Goble et al, 2015;Mayerhofer et al, 2015;Soni et al, 2017). However, very few studies have elaborated the possible compatibility of B. brongniartii with natural chemicals (derived from plant or any other living organism) and other chemicals with novel mode of action (Sushil et al, 2018;Wu et al, 2019). Our previous findings revealed the synergistic interaction of B. brongniartii with matrine (plant derived chemical) against S. litura under laboratory as well as semi field conditions (Wu et al, 2019).…”

Matrine, a naturally occurring heterocyclic compound, has been shown to enhance the pathogenicity of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria brongniartii against Spodoptera litura. In the current study, the biological impacts and synergism activities of these two agents on nutritional efficiency and antioxidant enzymes in S. litura were explored. Our results showed a high antifeedant activity of B. brongniartii and matrine on S. litura. The S. litura larvae were unable to pupate and emerge when treated with combinations of matrine and B. brongniartii. Following on, we measured the activities of five important antioxidant enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST)] when treated with B. brongniartii SB010 (1 × 10 9 spores/ml), matrine (0.5 mg/ml), and B. brongniartii SB010 (1 × 10 9 spores/ml) + matrine (0.5 mg/ml). The results indicated the detoxification activity of the five enzymes in the fat body and hemolymph of S. litura when facing a combined B. brongniartii and matrine challenge. The activities of the enzymes were significantly lower than that of the control group 7 days post-treatment, indicating the inhibitory effect of the two xenobiotics. Matrine had better inhibition effects than B. brongniartii in a majority of the trials. The improved detoxification activity of the five enzymes may be the internal mechanism of synergism of matrine on B. brongniartii.

The repetitive application of pesticides at high doses against Spodoptera litura Fabricius has resulted in development of pesticide resistance and harmful effects to the natural environmental. Hence, finding alternate pest control strategies, such as entomopathogenic fungi or their application in combination with other natural chemicals, is of great importance to solve the abovementioned problems. This study presents the toxic effects of Beauveria brongniartii and matrine (individual or in combination with each other) against tobacco cutworm ( S. litura ). Different matrine treatments caused a dose dependent increase in S. litura mortality at different time intervals. The biological parameters of B. brongniartii (germination rate and average daily mycelia growth) were not inhibited by different matrine treatments. Different conidial concentrations of B. brongniartii caused significantly different mortalities of 2nd instar S. litura larvae at different time intervals. Different combined treatments of B. brongniartii and matrine showed a significant synergistic effect against S. litura under laboratory and semi-field conditions. The current findings showed a strong synergistic action for combined application of B. brongniartii and matrine against S. litura. Our results will provide baseline information on combined application of entomopathogenic fungi and natural chemicals in integrated pest management programs against S. litura .

“…In the case of pests, the main pests studied have been the sugarcane borer [74,75], termites [76], and rodents [77], while the main diseases studied have been: mosaic infection [78], eye leaf spot [79], and red rot [80]. For both pests and diseases, chemical [81] and biological [82,83] control have been evaluated.…”

Sugarcane is one of the main crops worldwide, and it has an important impact on environmental issues. A bibliometric mapping analysis of the research on sugarcane was carried out, using data on the titles, abstracts, and keywords of articles published in leading journals and other peer-reviewed documents available in the SCOPUS database from 1858 to 2019 (27 August), and this was subsequently analyzed with the software VOSviewer. The three most important countries that publish research and were most-cited regarding sugarcane were Brazil, the USA, and India. The analysis of the co-occurrence of terms shows that the main research areas were sugarcane bagasse and terms related to bioenergy, and on a second level of relevance agronomy topics related to increasing crop yields. This first attempt to visualize the abundance of publications regarding sugarcane in their totality is in itself a good starting point for further scientific discussion.
