Adult Biocontrol Using Strains and Gum Formulations.

Speare is the only entomopathogenic fungus that has been applied to control the hemipteran Kuwayama. However, the use of available commercial products under field conditions is limited due to conidia's shelf life and short environmental persistence. We have previously reported the citrus psyllid adults' biocontrol potential using strains.

Improved (Hemiptera: Liviidae) Adults Biocontrol in Citrus by (Hypocreales: Ophiocordycipitaceae) Gum-Enhanced Conidia Formulation.

Speare is the only entomopathogenic fungus involved in Kuwayama natural epizootics. The aim of the present study was to evaluate different protein sources as supplements to stimulate growth, improve conidiation on solid culture, and evaluate its produced gum for conidia formulation against adults. INIFAP-Hir-2 strain was grown on agar media enriched with wheat bran, wheat germ, soy, amaranth, quinoa, and pumpkin seed, in addition to oat with wheat bran and/or amaranth.

Effect of Culture Conditions of Endophytic Fungi on Yield and Anticancer and Antioxidant Activities.

Culture conditions affect the production of secondary metabolites in endophytic fungi. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the yield and anticancer and antioxidant activity of endophytic fungi extracts from the cactus , under different culture conditions. The strains , , and sp.

Insight into Biological Control Potential of against Asian Citrus Psyllid as a Vector of Citrus Huanglongbing Disease in America.

Studies on Speare are scarce. Among these, some reports have focused on phenotypic identification, based on its morphological structure and morphometric characteristics. This fungus is known to control economically important citrus crop pests.

Mycelial compatibility, anastomosis, and nucleus numbers of eight Mexican strains isolated from .

Background: Among entomopathogenic fungi, has been recognized as potential biocontrol agent against the Asian citrus psyllid (Hemiptera: Liviidae). Nevertheless, this fungus is poorly characterized. Previous molecular studies have shown high sequence similarities among strains, but significant differences in virulence.
