Susceptibility of the Legume Pod Borer, Maruca vitrata, to Microbial Control Agents

摘要

Baseline susceptibility of Maruca vitrata to Bacillus thuringiensis and entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) formulations and/or isolates was assessed under laboratory conditions in Taiwan, Vietnam and India. In Taiwan, Xentari (R) (B. thuringiensis subsp. aizawai) was more toxic to M. vitrata. In Vietnam, M. vitrata was highly susceptible to Zitarback F.C.(R) (B. thuringiensis subsp. aizawai); it was highly susceptible to the EPF formulation Luc cuong (Metarhizium anisopliae). M. anisopliae isolate BCRLMa-3 was highly toxic to M. vitrata in India.
