Influence of fungal filtrates from genus verticillium on invasion efficiency of entomopathogenic nematode, heterorhabditis (heterorhabditidae) to insect host [electronic resource].

Inculdes reference.

The effect of metabolite fungi of twelve species belonging to genus verticillium on the average penetrating of infective juvenile stages of both entomophathogenic nematodes heterorhabditis bacteriophara and h.indica against the last instar larvae of galleria mellonella was tested under laboratory conditions. all concentrations of all verticillium fungus species metabolites suppressed the invasion of juvenile stage of both entomophathogenic species against the last instar larvae of insect host. negative relationship was found between dilutions of metabolites fungus and the decrease % of penetrated nematode species. the highest decrease percentages of both nematode species. the highest decrease percentages of both nematode species penetrated to the last instar larvae of galleria mellonella was obtained in soil treated by metabolites of species verticillium.
