Compatibility of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana with Some Fungicides Used in California Strawberry

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Several arthropod pests infest strawberry crop in California and cause a significant yield loss according to Zalom, Bolda, Dara, and Joseph [1]. Strawberry is an important commercial crop and the annual report from California Department of Pesticide Regulations [2] indicates that large quantities of acaricides, fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides are applied to manage a variety of pests. Chemical acaricides and insecticides are mainly applied to manage the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch and the western tarnished plant bug, Lygus hesperus Knight. Dara [3 5] demonstrated that entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, Isaria fumosorosea Wize, and Metarhizium brunneum Petch. can play an important role in integrated pest management (IPM) and promote sustainable agriculture. However, growers frequently apply fungicides to manage foliar and fruit diseases

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo 1835) Vuillemin is an effective alternative control agent against some agricultural pests and biological vectors of important diseases such as Chagas disease. In this work we studied an isolate of Beauveria bassiana from of the town of San Antonio Rayón, Puebla, Mexico and its entomopathogenic effects on Meccus pallidipennis (Stal 1872). P...

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana has a wide host range and is used as a biocontrol agent against arthropod pests. Mycoviruses have been described in phytopathogenic fungi while in entomopathogenic fungi their presence has been reported only rarely. Here we show that 21.3% of a collection of B. bassiana isolates sourced from worldwide locations, harbor dsRNA elements. Molecular cha...
