FT Ajvad, H Madadi, JP Michaud, D Zafari, M Khanjani - Biological Control, 2020 - Elsevier
The fungus gnat Lycoriella auripilla Winnertz (Diptera: Sciaridae) is a key pest of mushroom
production in Iran where it can be a year-round problem on commercial farms. We evaluated
the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) and
the predatory soil mite, Gaeolaelaps aculeifer (Canestrini)(Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) as
biocontrol agents of L. auripilla larvae when applied alone or in combination.
Concentrations of M. anisopliae ranging from 10 3 to 10 8 spores/ml were tested with and …
