Abstract:
[Objectives] To determine the compatibility of eight common pesticides with Lecanicillium
lecanii JMC-01, and the toxicity of combinations of each pesticide and L.
lecanii JMC-01 to Bemisia tabaci nymphs. [Methods] The effects of each of eight pesticides on the spore germination
and sporulation of L. lecanii, and their LC50 and co-toxicity
coefficients with respect to B. tabaci nymphs, were tested using the
coating and dipping methods. [Results] The growth inhibition rate, spore
germination inhibition rate and sporulation inhibition rate of L. lecanii decreased
with pesticide dilution factor. The bio-pesticide lspinetoram, veratrine and
azadirachtin were the most compatibile and had the best synergistic effect with L. lecanii. The inhibition rates of spore germination for 10-fold
dilutions of lspinetoram, veratrine and azadirachtin were 20.02%, 16.41%, and
15.38%, respectively, and sporulation inhibition rates were 17.77%, 15.90%, and
14.96%, respectively. Mycelial growth inhibition rates for the above pesticides
were 9.96%, 8.87%, and 9.74%, respectively. The best synergistic control was
achieved using a combination of azadirachtin and veratrine with L.
lecanii. Maximum CTC was 315 and 302, respectively. [Conclusion] Selecting pesticides that are compatibile
with L. lecanii, and that have a high co-toxicity coefficient at low doses,
can significantly reduce the amount of pesticide required to control B.
tabaci in greenhouses.
