“…bassiana tem sido testada para o controle de diversos cerambicídeos, como em adultos de Plectrodera scalator Fabricius, 1792, praga de Populus deltoides Marsh (cottonwood), em Kentucky, Estados Unidos, atingindo porcentagens de mortalidade superiores a 60% (FORSCHLER; NORDIN, 1988). Na China, B. bassiana tem sido produzida em larga escala e utilizada no controle de mais de 30 espécies de pragas florestais e agrícolas (FENG et al, 1994).…”

ResumoHedypathes betulinus (KLUG, 1825) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) é a principal praga da cultura da ervamate. Para o seu controle, avaliou-se em laboratório e campo a utilização de fungos entomopatogênicos. Em laboratório, foi avaliada a infectividade de isolados dos fungos Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuillemin, 1912; B. brongniartii (Sacc.) conídios/mL, variando de 6x10 5 a 5x10 6 conídios/mL. Foi avaliada a persistência do isolado CG 716 de B. bassiana formulado à base de óleo emulsionável em campo, verificando-se alta mortalidade nas primeiras três semanas após a aplicação do fungo, variando de 95 a 78%, decaindo para 65 a 47%, um e dois meses após a aplicação, respectivamente.

Abstract Entomopathogenic fungi in the control of Hedypathes betulinus and evaluation of persistence.Hedypathes betulinus (KLUG, 1825) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is the main pest of "erva-mate" (Ilex paraguariensis) culture. Focusing its control, it was evaluated in laboratory and field the entomopathogenic fungi using. In laboratory, it was evaluated the infectiveness of the strains of the following fungi: Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuillemin, B. brongniartii (Sacc.) Petch, Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.), Sorokin and Paecilomyces (= Isaria) sp. Bainier, in adults specimen of H. betulinus. The insects were immersed in a conidial suspension at a concentration of 10 7 conidia mL -1 . After the application the insects had been kept at laboratory for mortality register. It was verified that B. bassiana (CG 716) was more infective, reaching to 100% of mortality. It estimated LC 50 of isolated CG 716 of B. bassiana with five concentrations and a variation of l0 5 to l0 9 conidia mL -1, along the control plot. The estimated LC 50 was 2,0 x 10 6 conidia mL -1 , ranging from 6 x 10 5 to 5 x 10 6 conidia mL -1. The persistence of strain CG 716 of B. bassiana -formulate oil was evaluated in field, producing the highest mortality, at the first three weeks after the application of the fungus, with a variance of 95 to 78 %, with a decreasing of 65 to 47% , along one and two months after the application , respectively.

“…Germination it was the biological parameter that was most affected by insecticides. Conidial germination is essential to initiate the infectious process in the host, and it is more important than vegetative growth or conidial production of B. bassiana (Feng et al,1994;Todorova et al, 1998).…”

The willow leaf beetle, Plagiodera versicolora (Laicharting, 1781), is one of the most destructive pests of many Salix and Populus species worldwide. A total of 12 entomopathogenic fungi including Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill., B. cf. bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae (Metch) Sorok, and Isaria fumosorosea (Wize) (formerly Paecilomyces fumosoroseus) were tested against the larvae of this pest under laboratory conditions in order to find any possible fungal biocontrol agent against it. A conidial concentration of 1 × 10 7 conidia ml -1 for each isolate was applied to third instar larvae of the pest. Among tested fungal isolates, the highest mortality was obtained as 100% from B. bassiana KTU-57 within 14 days after inoculation (p < 0.05). This isolate also caused the highest mycosis value (83%) (p < 0.05). It was selected for dose-response test according to the screening test, and lethal concentration at 50% (LC 50 ) value of the fungus on the larvae of the pest was calculated as 1.03 × 10 5 conidia ml -1 based on probit analysis. Consequently, B. bassiana KTU-57 appears to be a significant promising isolate against the willow leaf beetle as a possible biocontrol agent.
