INITIAL CHARACTERISATION OF Metarhizium anisopliae CPMa1502 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BIOPESTICIDE AGAINST THE OIL PALM FRUIT SCRAPER Demotispa neivai (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Abstract:Entomopathogenic fungi are key components of biological pest control programs. Among these, Metarhizium anisopliae is one of the best-studied and has been demonstrated to be particularly effective against coleopterans. The native M. anisopliae CPMa1502, previously selected for its insecticidal activity against Demotispa neivai (oil palm fruit scraper), was studied to establish its growth parameters under several culture conditions and its virulence on different stages of D. neivai. Considerable conidia product… Show more
