Abstract

[...]with the rapid expansion of the sugarcane crop, the production of parasitoids would be inversely proportional. [...]the use of other control methods, such as entomopathogenic fungus, will increase the biological control of this sugarcane borer. For entomopathogenic fungi to be efficient microbial control agents, it is necessary to understand all the factors that may negatively affect their development, mainly the pH of the water at the time of spraying. [...]this study aimed to elucidate possible effects on different pH values of the culture medium for the growth, sporulation, and virulence of the fungi Beauveria bassiana and M. anisopliae. MATERIAL AND METHODS Obtaining and Multiplication of Fungus We used the B. bassiana (strain ESALQ 171) and M. anisopliae (strain ESALQ 935) fungi from the collection of Laboratory of Microbial Control of Arthropods Pests, Säo Paulo State University (FCAV/UNESP), Jaboticabal, Säo Paulo, Brazil. For this purpose, the shape of each colony was drew on A4 paper, on the outer face of the bottom of each dish (9x12 cm), and then each draw has scaled the area with the aid of a leaf area meter (the electronic device that measured leaf area, Licor 3100).
