“…In addition, adults contaminated with conidia after contacting a band can transmit conidia to another adult during mating (Hajek, unpublished data). Band production was developed by amending methods developed by Nitto Denko (Osaka, Japan) for commercial production of fungal bands made with B. brongniartii, which are used to control cerambycid pests (e.g., Psacothea hilaris, Anoplophora malasiaca, and Apriona japonica) in Japanese orchards (Higuchi et al, 1997); the fungal band product used in Japanese orchards is named Biolisa Kamikiri. For control of A. malasiaca, bands are placed at the bases of citrus trees where females oviposit.…”

“…Because adults emerge asynchronously for several months, it is difficult to apply materials for control that impact all adults. However, fungal bands are excellent in this regard because activity has been shown to persist for well over one month in the field (Higuchi et al, 1997;Hajek, unpublished …”

“…Fungi are applied as non-woven fiber bands impregnated with fungal cultures that are wrapped around trees. For these studies, the methodology for growing bands of B. brongniartii for control of A. glabripennis was amended from the method developed by Nitto Denko (Osaka, Japan) for control of orchard pests (Higuchi et al, 1997). We could not confirm that B. brongniartii is native to North America (Hajek, unpublished data).…”

“…Therefore, band height should be adapted to make sure bands are shaded. All studies in China have been conducted with one band/tree, as is recommended for use of Biolisa Kamikiri in Japanese orchards (Higuchi et al, 1997). These guidelines from Japan were created for small citrus and fig trees and perhaps more bands/tree should be applied for larger shade trees in the U.S.…”

A new cuticle scale hydrolysing protease from Beauveria brongniartii

et al. 2006

From a screening for the production of new proteases specific for cuticle scales, Beauveria brongniartii was selected producing an alkaline Ca(++) dependent protease. The purified had a molecular weight of 27 kDa and a pI value of 8.0. Substrate specificities of model substrates (wool with partially removed cuticles treated with SDS) were analyzed by protein release, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen analysis. The C/N ratio of released material turned out to be a good parameter to determine the site of action of proteases on fibres. Compared to other enzymes, the fungal protease preferentially hydrolyzed cuticle scales and has thus a potential for anti-shrinking pre-treatment of wool fabrics.

Prospects for the use of biological control agents againstAnoplophorain Europe

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review summarises the literature on the biological control of Anoplophora spp. (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and discusses its potential for use in Europe. Entomopathogenic fungi: Beauveria brongniartii Petch (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) has already been developed into a commercial product in Japan, and fungal infection results in high mortality rates. Parasitic nematodes: Steinernema feltiae Filipjev (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae) and Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser have potential for use as biopesticides as an alternative to chemical treatments. Parasitoids: a parasitoid of Anoplophora chinensis Forster, Aprostocetus anoplophorae Delvare (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), was discovered in Italy in 2002 and has been shown to be capable of parasitising up to 72% of A. chinensis eggs; some native European parasitoid species (e.g. Spathius erythrocephalus) also have potential to be used as biological control agents. Predators: two woodpecker (Piciformis: Picidae) species that are native to Europe, Dendrocopos major Beicki and Picus canus Gmelin, have been shown to be effective at controlling Anoplophora glabripennis Motschulsky in Chinese forests. The removal and destruction of infested and potentially infested trees is the main eradication strategy for Anoplophora spp. in Europe, but biological control agents could be used in the future to complement other management strategies, especially in locations where eradication is no longer possible.
