Entomopathogenic fungi in populations of the satin moth Stilpnotia salicis L.
Journal of Plant Protection Research 37 (1-2), 128-137
Abstract: Six fungal species, Aspergillus flavus Link ex Fr., Beauveria bassiana (Bats.) Vuill., Acremonium sensu Gams, Fusarium sp. Link ex Fr., Paecilomyces farinosus (Holm. ex Gray) Brown et Smith as well a Paecilomyces fumosoroseus (Wize) Brown et Smith, have been isolated as result of studies on entomopathogenic fungi of the satin moth Stilpnotia salicis. The epizootic induced by the fungus B. bassiana in 1994 caused about 92% reduction of the pest population. That has been noted for the first time in a natural population of S. salicis in Poland.
