Subject:
Lygus hesperus; insect control; Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. neoleoensis; biological control agents; crystal proteins; delta-endotoxins; toxicity; mortality; bioassays; developmental stages; diet; buffers
Abstract:
... Lygus hesperus Knight (Hemiptera: Miridae) is an economically important insect pest controlled primarily by chemical pesticides. Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner is a gram-positive bacterium, which upon sporulation produces a parasporal inclusion body, the crystal. The latter, in some strains, exhibits specific insecticidal activities against lepidopteran, coleopteran, or dipteran pests. The aim of ...

Abstract:
... Nineteen strains and species of entomopathogenic fungi were examined for their potential as biological control agents of the house fly, Musca domestica L. Bioassays against larvae, pupae, and adult males and females in small containers indicated five strains of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. were relatively more virulent. Three of the virulent strains, chosen for efficiency of production in a r ...

... Laricobius rubidus LeConte, native to eastern North America whose primary host is Pineus strobi Hartig, has been observed in association with Adelges tsugae, an exotic and lethal pest of hemlock trees in eastern North America. Pineus strobi and A. tsugae were used to evaluate host preference and suitability of this predatory beetle to determine in part its suitability as a potential biological con ...

Abstract:
... Pupal parasitoids are released as biocontrol agents against house flies and stable flies in livestock production systems, and entomopathogenic fungi may be compatible with the parasitoids. However, little is known on the dynamic interactions between pupal parasitoids and entomopathogenic fungi when based on releases of both biological control agents. Therefore, the compatibility of the pupal paras ...
