Virulence of Beauveria bassiana Strains Isolated from Cadavers of Colorado Potato Beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata
Original language description
The Colorado potato beetle is a serious insect pest, attacking mainly potato. This pest causes severe yield loss all over the world and it is difficult to control by chemical pesticides because it quickly develops resistance to them. In our study we investigated the potential of the fungus Beauveria bassiana, a natural pathogen of insects, to kill adults of the Colorado potato beetle. The novelty of this study is that strains of the fungus were isolated from naturally infected adults of Tthe pest which were collected in potato fields in the Czech Republic. A suspension of B. bassiana spores was applied to test beetles and their survival was observed under constant conditions. Obtained results revealed that some strains of the fungus were able to kill almost all treated beetles in 21 days and can be therefore recommended for the development of a new biopesticide. The results of this study can thus be applied in effective biological control of the most serious pest of potato.
