Description |
Investigations on entomogenous fungi were carried out during 2012-13 at ZARS, VC farm, Mandya. Survey on the incidence of Metarhizium anisopliae on brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens ranged between 0.1 to 0.5 % in the diverse rice fields surveyed. Pathogenicity of different isolates of fungal pathogens on brown planthopper nymphs and adults in the laboratory revealed highest nymphal mortality of 8.89 % and 53.33 % in M. anisopliae isolate viz., Ma-1, Ma-4 and Ma-1 respectively. The highest per cent mortality of adult was recorded in M. anisopliae (Ma-4) at two (17.78 %) and ten days (88.89 %) after spraying. In field condition highest BPH mortality was recorded in M. anisopliae (Ma-4) at three (16.67 %) and twenty-one days (86.67 %) after spraying. The local isolate, Ma-4 was significantly superior and more virulent over rest of the isolates under laboratory and field condition. Thirteen insecticides and six fungicides used in the management of insect pests and diseases of paddy were tested for their compatibility with M. anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana, and none of them were found to be compatible with entomogenous fungi. |
