The effect of fungicides on Verticillium lecanii on culture media was classified into three grades. Three strains of V. lecanii were studied for practical control of Aphis gossypii and Trialeurodes vaporariorum in greenhouses. Fungicides with no effect on culture media had no effect on V. lecanii in greenhouse trials. When fungicides with some effect on culture media were applied 3 days after application of V. lecanii, the secondary infectivity of V. lecanii tended to be weak. When fungicides with strong effect on culture media were applied within 3 days after application of V. lecanii, insect mortality due to V. lecanii was not seen. It seems that the effect of the fungicides on V. lecanii has no relationship to the different strains of V. lecanii. If we can develop a system to integrate use of V. lecanii with fungicides, V. lecanii could be put to practical use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
