TI  - Evaluation of Metarhizium anisopliae (Deuteromycota: Hyphomycetes) for control of

AB  - A study on 12 entomopathogenic fungi for controlling broad mite 
      (Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks)) in mulberry found that Metarhizium anisopliae 
      CKM-048 was the most virulent strain in controlling both larvae and adult broad 
      mites at the concentration of 2 x 10(8) conidia/ml. There was no ovicidal effect 
      when tested with broad mite eggs. Median lethal concentrations (LC(50)) of M. 
      anisopliae in killing larvae and adults were 8.7 x 10(6) and 1.3 x 10(7 
      )conidia/ml, respectively. Median lethal times (LT(50)) of larvae and adults were 
      2.4 and 3.8 days, respectively, at the concentration of 2 x 10(8) conidia/ml. The 
      fungus was found to produce protease and chitinase. Scanning electron microscope 
      (SEM) studies were done to monitor the infection steps of the fungus on broad 
      mites. A greenhouse test on mulberry trees revealed that M. anisopliae could 
      reduce the broad mite population within 4 days after treatment. However, after 7 
      days, its efficacy was decreased significantly.
