Abstract

The Blossom Beetle Epicometis hirta (Poda) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) is one of the important pest that limits apple production.. This study was aimed to examine the role of two entomopathogenic fungi (Beauveria bassiana and Fusarium sp.) were isolated from field soil from Adana province. E. hirta collected from Yozgat, Sorgun, Gedikhasanlı province and the districts and the entomopathogenic fungi inoculated on E. hirta adults by spraying method. In the experiment, 1x106, 1x107 and 1x108 conidia ml-1 concentrations were used. 40 adults per concentration and 10 adults per recurrence were used within four recurrences. After the inoculation, mortality rates mycosis rate and were calculated for day 7 and 14 days. At 7th day, the mortality rates of B. bassiana were calculated as, 60%, 85%, 80% and for Fusarium sp. isolates were calculated as; 40%, 35%, 40% respectively. At 14th day, the mortality rates of B. bassiana were calculated as 70%, 90%, 90% and for Fusarium sp. isolates; 50%, 70%, 75% respectively. LC50 values were determined using Fusarium sp. (213) and B. bassiana (310) isolates were 251.83x105 and 101.94x105 conidia mature-1, respectively. The results of the study B. bassiana isolates (1x107 and 1x108 conidia ml-1 doses) could be used as potential biological control agents in classical biological control programs aimed at managing the pest.
