Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an important vegetable crop worldwide. Often times, its production is hindered by fungal diseases. Important fungal diseases limiting tomato production are late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, early blight, caused by Alternaria solanii, and septoria leaf spot, caused by Septoria lycopersici, fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporium fsp. oxysporium, ...

The entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Lecanicillium lecanii and Isaria fumosorosea were tested for their efficacy in managing the exotic spiraling whitefly Aleurodicus dispersus (Hemiptera, Aleyrodidae) on cassava (Manihot esculenta) during 2 seasons (2011-2012 and 2012-2013). The fungi I. fumosorosea and L. lecanii exhibited promising levels of control (> 70% m...

Verticillium lecanii has been found growing in pustu'les of the uredial stage of a number of rust fungi (GAMS 1971, SCHROEDER and HAssEBRAuK 1957, CASPER and MENDGEN 1979, SPENCER 1'980), and in some insects (HALL 1980). SCHROEDER and HASSEBRi\UK (1957) observed that this fungus is able to penetrate the urediospores of Puccinia striiformis. It remains to be shown, however, whether Verticillium ...

Twenty fungi were assayed in vitro for antagonism to eggs of Heterodera glycines. Eight of the fungi were isolated from cysts or eggs of H. glycines during the current study, one was isolated from Panagrellus redivivus, and eleven were obtained from other researchers or collections. The bioassays were conducted on eggs from nematodes that had been grown monoxenically on excised root tips. Phoma...

The current study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of entomopathogenic fungus Lecanicillium lecanii (1×106) spore per gram control Dacus ciliatus on summer squash cucurbita pepo in two different stations ( Tanjaro and Tainal ) Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan Region-Iraq, greenhouses during July November, 2021, Set up a yellow sticky trap both sides from each greenhouse determine time appearance...

In this study, Metarhizium rileyi isolates (M. NIPHM, M. MTCC 4254 and 10395) were evaluated for their compatibility with other entomopathogenic fungi viz. anisopliae NBAIR (Ma-35), commercial formulation of anisopliae, (Local), Beauveria bassiana ITCC 7126, B. (Local) Verticillium lecanii neem based formulations- (azadirachtin 0.03%EC) 0.15%EC) along synthetic insecticide spinetoram 11.7%SC. N...
