Effect of the Alarm Pheromone of the Southern Green Stink Bug, Nezara uiridukx (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) on the Entomopathogenic Furigi Meta rhizi u in anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorok.The effect of the alarm pheromone extract of the southern greeri stink bug, Nezara uiridula (L.), and some of the synthetic pherornone fractions, were evaluated agairist the eritomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorok. It was obscrved an irreversible inhibition on the germination of M. anisopliae spores, owing to the compounds trans-2decenal and trans-2-hexenal. These compounds are reported as fungal inhibitors or fungicides.
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.
