- W2073237360 abstract "A preliminary virulence test of four fungal isolates, Beauveria bassiana IMI 382302, Beauveria bassiana IMI 386701, Trichoderma harzianum T24 and Aspergillus flavus Link against larvae of Spodoptera littoralis was performed. The most effective isolates against larvae of S. littoralis were B. bassiana 302 and T. harzianum T24, which also showed the lower percentage of pupation compared with the other two isolates under the same conditions of treatments. Three concentrations (1 × 106, 1 × 107 and 1 × 108 ml−1) of the aqueous conidial suspension of the four tested isolates were carried out against both larval and pupal stages of S. littoralis within five days post-treatment. T. harzianum T24 showed 80% larval mortality only when applied at the highest conidial concentration, while A. flavus showed 100% pupal mortality only, at all of its conidial concentrations. However, B. bassiana IMI 382302 showed relatively high dose-dependant larval and pupal mortalities, while strain IMI 386701 of B. bassiana showed a very weak mortality against pupae at higher concentrations, and no virulence against larvae was recorded. Enzymatic and antibiosis bioassays of the four fungal isolates showed relatively high activities against Fusarium spp. for most of the tested isolates. Clear zone of enzyme activity on agar plates proportionally increased with increasing the concentration of enzyme substrate and prolongation of the incubation period. Mtabolites produced in the agar culture inhibited the growth of Fusarium spp. and the productivity differed greatly among isolates or strains of the same isolate. Volatile and non-volatile compounds produced by A. flavus Link showed a higher inhibition activity against Fusarium spp. compared with the other fungal isolates. The humoral antifungal response of insect host is relatively high compared to the anti-bacterial one. Injection of larvae with the immune sensitive bacteria Micrococcus luteus (5 × 103 bacteria/larva) showed a detectable humoral response by 2 h, peaked around 12 h and became hardly detectable by 24 h post-injection. Injection of larvae with conidial suspension (5 × 103 conidia/larva) from each of the fungal isolates showed humoral antifungal activity against B. bassiana IMI 386701 and A. flavus only. This activity was detectable by 12 h, peaked around 36 h and became hardly detectable by 48 h post-injection. Although the humoral antifungal response was started slowly compared to the antibacterial one, it lasted for longer and enabled larvae to withstand the infection with these immune-sensitive fungal strains. No humoral activity was detected against B. bassiana IMI 382302, although however, weak activity was detected against T. harzianum T24 only at the low conidial concentration but not at the higher one (1 × 108 ml−1). Thus, this study concludes that larvae of S. littoralis showed immune-dependant sensitivity to T. harzianum T24 and B. bassiana IMI 382302. Therefore, this study may recommend these two fungal isolates as mycoinsecticides in the battle against cotton leaf worm in Egypt. Hence, they have been selected for future comprehensive bioassays in the laboratory under conditions similar to that in the field. This, in fact, may help for developing effective mycoinsecticides against this pest. Penetration mechanims of insect cuticle by entomopathogenic fungi will be discussed." @default.
