Formulations can help protecting these fungal structures against radiation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of UV radiation on pure and encapsulated conidia <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> and <i>Metarhizium anisopliae sensu lato</i>, and to evaluate their pathogenicity on the sugarcane borer, <i>Diatraea saccharalis</i>. The pure conidia and the sodium alginate capsules containing the fungi were submitted to the ultraviolet radiation in different temperatures and exposure times. On the pure conidia, the radiation had a deleterious effect after 5 minutes of exposure, going from 94% to 52% germination for <i>B. bassiana</i> and from 96% to 54% for <i>M. anisopliae</i>. The alginate formulation protected the <i>B. bassiana</i> conidia against the radiation in all times they were evaluated (15 minutes to 48 hours), because, even after exposure, the fungi remained viable. The dry encapsulated conidia <i>B. bassiana</i> caused 79.6% mortality of the studied pest and the <i>M. anisopliae</i> caused only 10%.展开更多
