Article Synopsis
- Alternatives to neonicotinoids are essential for controlling cereal aphids, and two formulations of Beauveria bassiana strains (Bb and TBb) were tested against them in a winter wheat crop.
- In field trials, both fungal treatments significantly reduced aphid infestation and density compared to control, with TBb showing higher efficacy than Bb.
- Although imidacloprid had quicker effects, its efficacy varied more, suggesting that the fungal options are viable contenders for aphid management.
Thechemical control of rice planthoppers (RPH)is prohibited in annual rice-shrimp rotation paddy fields. Here, the fungal insecticides ZJU435 and CQ421 were tested for control of RPH populations dominated by in three field trials. During four-week field trials initiated from the harsh weather of high temperatures and strong sunlight, the rice crop at the stages from tillering to flowering was effectively protected by fungal sprays applied at 14-day intervals.
