Oleic Acid and Linoleic Acid Enhances the Biocontrol Potential of .

is a wide spread insect fungi with a good biocontrol potentiality to various pests, particularly noctuid insects. However, it is characterized by its slow growth, its sensitivity to abiotic stress, and the slow speed of kill to pests, which hinder its use compared with other entomopathogenic fungi. In this study, the responses of to eight types of lipids were observed; among the lipids, oleic acid and linoleic acid significantly promoted the growth and development of and enhanced its stress tolerances and virulence.

Genetic Diversity and Virulence Variation of from Infected in Corn Fields.

is an entomopathogenic fungus that naturally infects the larvae of and has biocontrol potential. To explore more natural entomopathogenic fungi resources, a total of 31 strains were isolated from 13 prefectures in Yunnan Province. All the strains were identified using morphology and molecular biology.

Risk assessment for yachting tourism in China using dynamic Bayesian networks.

Scientific evaluation of yachting tourism safety risks (YTSRs) is crucial to reducing accidents in this sector. This paper is based on the data of 115 yachting tourism accidents in China's coastal areas from 2008 to 2021. A fishbone diagram and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) were used to identify the risk factors of yachting tourism from four aspects human, yachting, environmental, and management risk and to construct an evaluation index system.
