“…On the other hand, the greatest factor in the loss of inoculum viability of entomopathogenic fungi under field conditions is inactivation caused by UV light [37] [38], but grain storage environment does not have such disadvantage, thus it could be a suitable environment for integrated application of B. bassiana and DE.…”

The suppressive ability of entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana alone and in combination with diatomaceous earth (DE) was studied against the larvae of Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lep., Pyralidae). This study clearly showed that simultaneous use of B. bassiana and DE against larvae of P. interpunctella, not only could reduce the required concentration of fungal conidia or DE, but also could shorten the time need for showing insecticidal effects. The LC50 value of fungus at 7 d after treatment was 9.8 × 10 5 conidia mg −1 diet. Larvae showed a dose response to B. bassiana, and the addition of diatomaceous earth at 500 and 2000 ppm resulted in a significant increase in mortality. Larval mortality reached to the maximum of 28.3% and 71.7% after 7 d exposure to 500 and 2000 ppm DE concentrations, respectively. The LC50 value for B. bassiana in the presence of DE 500 ppm was 4.6 × 10 4 con. mg −1 diet and of DE 2000 ppm was 1.65 × 10 3 con. mg −1 diet. According to our results, B. bassiana and DE can be considered as two suitable candidates for integration into IPM strategy.

“…Studies involving biological control of insect pests using pathogens provide some indication of how solar UV may affect insect pathogens. For example, Braga et al 77,78 showed that fungal strains of an insect pathogen were sensitive to solar UV-B radiation and to lamp UV-B in a range corresponding to that in sunlight. These particular fungi commonly used in biological control of insects such as grasshoppers were isolated from soil fungi that would not normally be exposed to sunlight.…”
