Compatibility of Beauveria bassiana with Neoseiulus barkeri for Control of Frankliniella occidentalis

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana （Balsamo） Vuillemin and predatory mite Neoseiulus barked Hughes are effective biological control agents of Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande （Thysanoptera： Thripidae）, one of the most important pests of ornamentals and vegetables world-wide. Combined application of both may enhance control efficiency. The functional response for N. barked on the first instar larvae of western flower thrips which were infected by B. bassiana for 12 and 24 h in the laboratory （（25＋1）℃, （70＋5）% RH, L：D=16 h：8 h） was determined. The virulence of B. bassiana against the second instar and pupae of the thrips attacked by N. barked were also tested. The results showed that N. barked exhibited a Holling type II functional response on treated thrips. After having been treated with the fungus for 12 h and then offered to the predator, thrips were more vulnerable to be killed by N. barked. The second instar larvae and pupae of the thrips which had been attacked by predatory mites were markedly more susceptible to B. bassiana infection than normal thrips; the cumulative corrected mortality of B. bassiana of the second instar and pupae which were attacked by N. barked were 57 and 94%, respectively, compared to 35 and 80% in controls on the day 8. These findings highlight the potential use of B. bassiana in combination with N. barkeri to control F. occidentalis.

To study recycled trashes from shrimps and crabs in the sea through chitinase secreted by microorganisms,the chitinase gene chit2 was cloned and sequenced from Beauveria bassiana by the polymerase chain reaction(PCR),and was ligated into the yeast expression vector pYES2.The expression vector plasmid was transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae H158.Gene expression took place upon induction with 2% galactose.The measurement of enzyme activity shows that the expression production can be expressed in active forms and secreted to the medium.The enzyme activity approaches the peak of 0.63 U/mL when the culture time is 36 h.

Assessment of Beauveria bassiana and Their Enzymatic Extracts against Metamasius spinolae and Cyclocephala lunulata in Laboratory

The application of enzymatic extracts and conidia of Beauveria bassiana in Metamasius spinolae and Cyclocephala lunulata was evaluated. The variables were mortality and time of death. In M. spinolae, mortality with extracts 29%, conidia 27% and the combination of both 31%, all had a time of death of four days. Although with different symptoms, used enzymatic extracts: contraction and softening of the joints;by conidia: mycelium in the joints;in the combination of conidia and enzymatic extracts: abundant aerial mycelium. In C. lunulata, 100% mortality in all treatments;Time of death: enzymatic extracts and extracts with conidia 1.2 days;conidia 2.8 days. Symptoms were different, enzymatic extracts: melanization and internal tissue lysis;enzymatic extract and conidia: mycelium emerged and melanization;conidia: mycelium emerged. Enzymatic extracts showed insecticidal activity in M. spinolae and C. lunulata. These results suggest the potential of enzymatic extracts as biocontrol agents to improve the use of entomopathogenic fungi.

Innovative Method to Control Dubas Bug, Ommatissus lybicus （Deberg） （Homoptera： Tropiduchidae） in Date Palm Orchards Using Endophytic Beauveria bassiana Isolates

The main objective of this study was to investigate the presence of natural endophytic Beauveria bassiana within date palm tissues using molecular technique and measure their field efficacies in controlling Dubas bug, Ornmatissus lybicus （Deberg）. Two entomopathogenic B. bassiana isolates （MARD 108 and 100） were isolated from date palm, Phoenix dactylifera L. leaves; in addition, one isolate （MARD 92） originally from soil was identified to have endophytic property. Concentration of 1 × 10^9 conidia/mL of each of three endophytic isolates was used in field experiments targeting Dubas bug nymphs via injection tree trunks. The results indicated that the high mortality rates reached 92%, 96% and 100% with infliction of the three endophytic isolates after 15 d from the treatment. The successful establishment of the fungal isolates in the date palm tissue was determined using B. bassiana species-specific primer for the first time via using conventional polymerase chain reaction （PCR） amplification technique before and after injection, and the positive gel band representation was the identification signs. The novel results depicted for the first time the presence of natural endophytic B. bassiana isolates within date palm tissues and their field efficacies in controlling Dubas bug, O. lybicus （Deberg） infestation.

The Impact of Beauveria bassiana, Bacillus thuringiensis （Bt） Spray, Trichogramma pretiosum and Spinosad on the Lepidoptera： Crambidae, European Corn Borer （Ostrinia nubilalis）

The research cxamined the effects of microbial and novel insecticidal control strategies and also Irichogramma pretiosum on the I,epidoptera： Crambidae, the European corn borer （ECB）, （Ostrinia nubilalis）. The treatments included ~ino^d, from bacteria the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, the egg parasitoid Trichogramma pretiosum, and foliar applied Bt spray, and t^vo combinations Bearveria bassiana plus Bt spray and Trichogramma pretiosum and spinosad. The infestations by the European corn borer larvae on stalks of corn were very＂ severe in all the control treatments both 2006 and 2007. The microbial treatments caused various levels of European corn borer mortality. In all the parameters there was a significant difference between the control and other treatments with a P 〈 0.00 l. In this research, treatment with spinosad emerged as the most effective biological agent in the control of the European corn borer. The treatments had no significant effects on the relative abundance and composition of non-target arthropods （P 〉 0.05）. This research is relevant in boosting underutilized control strategies and increasing stakeholder adoption of integrated pest management practices and thereby＇ reducing the use of conventional insecticides especially for orgamc thrmers. This is very important especially in certain countries where the commumities are skeptical about consuming transgenic crops.
