- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines potential biocontrol candidates of brown planthopper (BPH) from 35 global isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae and Metarhizium flavoviride Gams & Rozsypal by comparing their lethal effects on BPH nymphs, initially at highly concentrated spore spray rate. According to the authors, thirty-five isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae Sorokin and Metarhizium flavoviride Gams & Rozsypal from different host insects worldwide were bioassayed for their lethal against third-instar BPH nymphs at 25 °C and a 14:10 h light:dark photoperiod at ca 1000 conidia mm-2. The study shows that the two Metarhizium anisopliae isolates were potential biocontrol agents of BPH for further research.
