COMBINED ACTION OF ENTOMOPATHOGENIC BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL STRAINS

Abstract

Entomopathogenic Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria and Beauveria bassiana fungi have been isolated from the dead Colorado potato beetle larvae and adults. It has been shown the combined using of these microorganisms widen the spectrum of their in- secticidal effect. The obtained results suggest the possibility of using the investigated strains for the development of a complex microbial bioinsecticide to protect the plants against the insect pests and mites.
