Native Beauveria bassisana isolates for control of lepidopteran pests in wine grapes and vegetable crops
EF 2016-17
Résumé
Two Okanagan isolates of the beneficial fungus Beauveria bassiana, which have shown good efficacy in the labagainst climbing cutworm pests of grape, will be studied to determine if they are able to infect and kill othercommon lepidopteran pests of vegetable and berry crops. These trials will help determine the potential of thesenative isolates to become new bioinsecticides. A second investigation will test the new isolates in a standardmass production rearing protocol to investigate their suitability for future development. If one or both of theisolates behave favourably in these trials, a future project could launch work to develop a new bioinsecticideand register it in Canada.
