Sensibilidade de isolados de fungos entomopatogênicos às radiações solar, ultravioleta e à temperatura

Abstract: RESUMO: Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a sensibilidade de isolados dos fungos Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorok. e Beauveria bassiana (Bals). Vuill. ao efeito das radiações solar e ultravioleta e da temperatura. Conídios dos isolados foram expostos, por vários períodos, aos raios de um simulador solar em diversas irradiâncias e a uma lâmpada de raios ultravioleta germicida. Os conídios do isolado de M. anisopliae foram também expostos às temperaturas de 19,5; 24,2 e 31,0ºC, e os do isolado de B. … Show more

“…This strategy is based on the acceptable mortality rate (49 to 56 %) induced by the two concentrations of insecticide and the necessity to prevent inactivation of the agent by abiotic factors such as solar and ultraviolet radiation. Although a single application of insecticide at a high concentration could produce greater mortality, it is possible that the fungal spores would not survive exposure to the environmental conditions and ongoing control of the pest would most likely fail (Oliveira et al 2016). In this context, it is worth noting that the manufacturer of the insecticide recommends application of the product at 1.25 g /L p.c.…”

“…However, bioassays in the field are required to prove the real potential of these entomopathogens. In the field, the entomopathogenic fungi may be influenced by abiotic factors, principally temperature, relative humidity, and solar radiation, which may affect the development and reproductive parameters of these microorganisms (Bugeme et al 2008;Oliveira et al 2016).…”

“…To prompt the development of wild fungi for use as biopesticides, virulence tests under laboratory and greenhouse conditions must be followed by ecological studies under field conditions to determine if any specific fungus might be limited by weather or other field conditions (Oliveira et al 2016). For example, exposure to strong sunlight decreases fungal spore populations and hinders spore dispersal (Wraight et al 2007).…”

“…For example, exposure to strong sunlight decreases fungal spore populations and hinders spore dispersal (Wraight et al 2007). Ultraviolet radiation (UV) in particular causes direct and indirect structural and physiological damage to fungi that dramatically reduces efficiency (Nicholson et al 2000;Braga et al 2002, Oliveira et al 2016. Ultimately, between the stage of prospecting for new, more effective species of fungi (as described here), and their successful use for pest control, there are many further considerations, including effects of such fungi on other beneficial insects in the crop (Santos Jr. et al 2006), optimal timings of applications (Ugine et al 2007), and commercial competition from chemical pesticides in terms of cost, ease of management, persistence, and required frequency of application (Lacey et al 2015).…”
