Abstract

The functional role of the insect pathogen fungus Metarhizium anisopliae strain NCAIM 362 against the white grub cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha) larvae and southern European marshland pyralid (Duponchelia fovealis) larvae in a sweet potato cultivation was tested under greenhouse conditions. As a positive control, the effect of the same strain of M. anisopliae were compared with the effect of the synthetic insecticide alpha-cypermethrin. According to the results, alpha-cypermethrin was more effective against both the Coleoptera and Lepidoptera larvae, a lower number of surviving individuals as well as less damaged tubers were detected after the chemical treatment, compared with M. anisopliae.

Abstract

Ticks can be a major concern for humans and animals alike through the transmission of various viral and bacterial diseases. Ticks have also developed tolerance to several active compounds due to intensive insecticide treatments. The excess use of insecticides against ticks worldwide is mostly environmental contamination rather than effective control. Thus, information about the useful chemicals is essential. Dermacentor marginatus and Dermacentor reticulatus individuals were tested, being collected in Transylvania, near the city of Târgu-Mureş, Romania. The experiment was performed under laboratory conditions in two replicates, using a total of 420 ticks and 19 insecticides. The best results were achieved with alpha-cypermethrin and pyrethrin.
