Abstract

The present study aimed to establish the effectiveness of UV-C irradiated Beauveria bassiana strain in controlling adults of Cosmopolites sordidus and third instar larvae of Spodoptera frugiperda. Ten third instar larvae of the fall armyworm and ten adults of the banana weevil were exposed to five concentrations of two strains of Beauveria bassiana, an untreated non-irradiated strain and an experimental strain irradiated with UV-C light for 12 hours (BI12H) at a concentration of 3 x 107, 4 x 107, 5 x 107, 6 x 107, 7 x 107 conidia/ml with 3 replicates each. The results showed entomopathogenic activity for the irradiated strain, where effectiveness was obtained with the median lethal dose LC50 of the pests infected with the entomopathogen and at the effective minimum concentration of 3 x 107 conidia/ml for both strains studied. It was concluded that the irradiated Beauveria bassiana strain has entomopathogenic effect against Cosmopolites sordidus and third instar larvae of Spodoptera frugiperda pests.
