Abstract
MARTINEZ, María A. et al. Effect of Lecanicillium lecanii (Zimm.) Zare & W. Gams strain VL-01 ON Myzus persicae nicotianae Blackman (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in laboratory trials. Rev. Protección Veg. [online]. 2017, vol.32, n.3, pp. 00-00. ISSN 2224-4697.
The effect of the strain Vl-01 of the entomopathogenic fungus Lecanicillium lecanii (Zimm.) Zare & W. Gams on mortality of the last two instars of Myzus persicae nicotianae Blackman was evaluated in laboratory trials by using the spraying method. Three concentrations of the fungus and a control treatment were used. The highest mortality in M. persicae was produced between 48 and 72 hours after spraying with the fungal concentration of 1x109conidia.ml-1. Sporulation in the moist chamber occurred between two and three days of fungal growth.
