ABSTRACT
Two formulations containing culture filtrates and conidial suspensions of the endophytic fungus
Cladosporium
oxysporum
Berk.
& M.A. Curtis, isolated previously from stems of
Euphorbia
bupleuroides
subsp.
luteola
(Kralik) Maire, were experimentally tested for their
aphicid activity against the black bean aphid
Aphis
fabae
Scop. found in Algeria. It was shown that invert emulsions are more effective
against aphids, than using aqueous suspensions. This was especially true for formulations containing culture filtrates. The relatively insignificant mortalities obtained by formulations containing conidial suspensions indicated a low infectious potential towards the aphids.
The proteolytic activity seemed to be more important than the chitinolytic activity of the fungus against the black bean aphid
A.
fabae.
