The effect of the pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana L. on eggs and larvae of wax moth Galleria mellonella ( Lepidoptera : Pyralidae)

Abstract

This study was conducted in 2010 to know the effect of the pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana on eggs and larvae of wax moth Galleria mellonella and by using the following dilution 6.8 × 10‾¹ and 6.8 × 10‾ ² and 6.8 × 10 ‾ ³ and 6.8 × 10 ‾ 4. The result showed that the best dilutions used and affecting the hatching eggs is to reduce 10 ‾ ¹ and 10‾ ³ reaching less than the rate of cracked eggs was seen 0.67 eggs, either the effect of mushrooms on the roles of larval found that the best mitigate any effect on the larvae of age I was 10 ‾ ³, which gave the murder rate reached 2.91 larva either the best treatment used is the treatment of spray + feed, which gave 3.27 larva dead, either dilutions the best in the killing instar larvae II 10‾ ³ It gave 3.12 either the best treatment is treatment of spraying, which gave 3.25 larva dead, either in the third age, the best dilutions is 10 ‾ ¹, which gave an average of 3.58 and transactions were the best and most impact in this age is the treatment of spraying as Attt 2.91 larva dead, either in the larvae of old fourth, the best dilutions was 10 ‾ ³, which gave an average of 3.10 either the transaction is better at this age was treatment spray + feed, which gave 3.41 larva dead, either the dilution that achieved the highest murder rate in the larvae of old V was mitigation 10‾ ¹ It gave 3.22 either transactions surpassed the number of larvae dead were treated spray + feed, which gave an average of 3.17 larva dead, either instar larvae VI felt mostly mitigation 10 ‾ ¹, which gave the murder rate stood at 3.22 either the best treatment was the treatment of spray + feed, which gave 3.33 larva is dead, or the age the last affected by mitigation 10 ‾ ¹, which gave an average of 3.22 either transaction the best in the influence that age were sprayed + fed and which gave the murder rate stood at 3.08 larva dead.
