Cellular Abnormalities Induced by Trichoderma Spp. During in Vitro Interaction and Control of White Muscardine (Beauveria Bassiana) and Green Muscardine (Metarhizium Anisopliae) Disease of Silkworm Bombyx Mori
Abstract:The silkworm is the larva of the domesticated silk moth, Bombyx mori. It is an economically important insect, being a primary producer of silk in sericulture industry. Among the silkworm diseases, white muscardine and green muscardine caused by Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae respectively possess a major threat to silk cocoon production. White muscardine is more common during rainy and winter seasons whereas green muscardine has its profound effect during hot and humid spells. Both these fungi Be… Show more
