Potency of Entomopathogenic Fungi, Trichoderma album Preuss in Controlling, Rhzopertha dominica F. (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) under Laboratory Conditions.
Abstract:A laboratory strain of Trichoderma album Preuss was assessed against the first larval instar and adult stage of Rhzopertha dominica F. under laboratory conditions by dipping bioassay. Four dose rates of T. album (7 ×10 4 , 7 ×10 5 , 7 ×10 6 and 7×10 7 conidia /ml) were applied. The count for mortality was made after 1, 3, 5 and 7 days. The treated wheat with T. album well as untreated wheat sample were stored for 6 months after infestation with R. dominica. and the quality of the stored wheat was determined. T… Show more
