Biological control of soil-dwelling insect pests in cocoa agroforests using CO₂-emitting capsules co-formulated with entomopathogenic fungi
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Termites have recently gained importance as major pests in cocoa agroforests (AF) because of a loss in overall biodiversity at the transition from shaded agroforestry system to intensively managed unshaded monocultures ... -
Effect of Infection by Metarhizium anisopliae (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) on the feeding and oviposition of the pea leafminer Liriomyza huidobrensis (Diptera: Agromyzidae) on different host plants
(Elsevier Science, 2011)The effect of fungal infection by Metarhizium anisopliae on feeding and oviposition of adult Liriomyza huidobrensis was examined on three host plants, faba bean (Vicia faba), French bean (Phaseolus vuklgaris) and snow pea ... -
Lure and infect strategy for application of entomopathogenic fungus for the control of bean flower thrips in cowpea
(Elsevier, 2017)The efficacy of spot spray and cover spray applications of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorok. in combination with the thrips attractant Lurem-TR (methyl-isonicotinate) was compared in field experiments for the management ... -
Morphological and molecular characterization of Vicia faba and Phaseolus vulgaris seed-born fungal endophytes
(Academic Journals, 2017)Background: Fungal endophytes are heterotrophic microorganisms that occur inside plant tissues, with some showing adverse effects against insects, nematodes and plant pathogens. Initiatives are underway at the International ... -
Spatial separation of semiochemical Lurem-TR and entomopathogenic fungi to enhance their compatibility and infectivity in an autoinoculation system for thrips management
(Wiley, 2016)BACKGROUND The effect of spatial separation of the semiochemical Lurem-TR, which has been found to inhibit conidia of entomopathogenic fungi when put together, on the persistence of conidia of Metarhizium brunneum and M. ...
