摘要
Susceptibility of the white grub Cyclocephala signaticollis Burmeister (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) larvae to seven isolates of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, five of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin and two of Paecilomyces lilacinus (Thom) Samson (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) was investigated. Among 14 fungal isolates screened the most virulent was a B. bassiana isolate (Bb 53) that caused 70% mortality of third instar larvae in 40 days after inoculation at 1 x 10(8) conida/ml. Strains of M. anisopliae and P. lilacinus showed low efficacy or no virulence to the target host.
