horizontal transmission of an isolate of the etomopathogenic fungus, beauveria bassiana kcf102, was examined by allowing inoculated eurygaster integriceps put. adults to mate with non-inoculated ones. in case of susceptibility to b. bassiana, there was no significant difference between the males and females. however, there was significant difference among treatments for mortality of non-inocula...

the virulence of four iranian isolates and one exotic isolate of beauveria bassiana on the fifth instar nymphs and also five iranian isolates and one exotic isolate of it on the adults of eurygaster integriceps puton was studied using dipping and topical micro-application techniques, respectively. nymphs were highly susceptible to the isolates. comparison of lc50 values showed no significant di...

chemical insecticides have been widely employed for the control of storage grain pests. this has caused such problems as insecticide resistance along with contamination of foodstuffs with chemical residues. thus, there is a growing interest in using pathogenic control agents as alternative. in this study, the potential of beauveria bassiana (bbweevil™, a commercial product containing 2×109 coni...

The coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei, is serious limitation in organic production Sao Tome Island the Gulf of Guinea, limited information regarding this species seasonal phenology on islands limits implementation biological control.In present study, seven plantations were monitored over two years to describe infestation patterns, penetration rates into berries, and mortality by entomopat...

effects of three nutritional levels of beet root molasses, cheese permeate, wheat bran extract, rice bran extract and sabouraud,s dextrose broth (sdb) were evaluated for blastospore production by two isolates of beauveria bassiana sensu lato. at an interval of 24 h for seven days. depending on the isolate, maximum blastospore production was obtained in 12% rice bran extract and 20% cheese perme...
