ABSTRACT
The Brazilian poplar moth is the most important pest of poplar plantations in Brazil. This research evaluated the effect of
Beauveria bassiana
Bals. (Vuill.) on the mortality and development of
Condylorrhiza vestigialis
Guen. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). The aim
was to develop alternative methods for management of this pest. The pathogens were sprayed on poplar leaves and .consequently, the
pathogens reached the caterpillars.
Bacillus thuringiensis
var.
kurstaki
Berliner was sprayed as the standard treatment. The spray for the
control was distilled water. Both pathogens
B. bassiana
and
B. thuringiensis
affected insect development with increase mortality at each
stage of the insect cycle, reaching a satisfactory control level. Microbial control of Brazilian poplar moth with
B. bassiana
is promising.
Tests with other strains and species of pathogens, mainly under field conditions, were also encouraging. This is the first report about
the action of
B. bassiana
against
C. vestigialis.
