Özet
Myriodontium keratinophilum Samson & Polon. (Ascomycota: Myriodontium) is a fungus reported on penis of a bull, soil, hair of cats and shrewmouse but has not yet been documented as being entomopathogenic against other common pests. Chemical pesticides are still used today with many pest management that spreads rapidly in large areas in the forest and agriculture. During April to June of nymphs of G. gryllotalpha were collected with digging the tobacco seedlings at a town east of Trabzon, Turkey. As a result of first morphological and then molecular studies, it was determined that the isolated fungal strain from cadaver was M. keratinophilum. Bioassay studies of the obtained fungal isolate were carried out against eight different pests including Agriotes lineatus L. (Coleoptera: Elateridae), Corythucha arcuata Say. (Hemipterera: Tingidae), Corythucha ciliata Say. (Hemipterera: Tingidae), Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say. (Coleoptera: Crysomelidae), Agelastica alni L. (Coleoptera: Crysomelidae), Lobesia botrana Denis. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), Tanymecus dilaticollis Gyll., (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Hyphantria cunea Drury. (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae). Bioassay results for 1 x 10(7) conidia mL(-1) concentration of M. keratinophilum strain against selected pests were determined between 100 and 53% rate within 15 days post inoculation under laboratory conditions. These results revealed that M. keratinophilum was classified as an entomopathogenic fungus, as well as its potential to be used as a biological control agent with its high mortality rates against various pests.
