Abstract
This study was initially designed to evaluate the differential susceptibility of three soybean-attacking pentatomids to the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana in standardized bioassays. Euschistus heros (Eh) was shown to be significantly less susceptible than Chinavia ubica (Cu), whereas Dichelops melacanthus (Dm) adults were highly susceptible to fungal infections. A deeper look at the mechanisms involved in the possible role of volatiles from metathoracic glands on fungal infections was undertaken, and gland extracts from Nezara viridula (Nv), a species known for its resilience to fungal infections, were also included in the assays. Atmospheres with volatiles from pentatomids with very low-susceptibility to B. bassiana infections (Eh and Nv) had a significant effect on speed of germination as shown in counts performed up to 22h post-inoculation, by which time 0.1 (control), 0.6 (Dm), 17.9 (Cu), 32.6 (Eh), and 43.4% (Nv) of conidia had not germinated. The fungistatic (inhibitory) and fungicidal (lethal) effects of Eh and Nv volatile-rich atmospheres were subsequently quantified in Petri dishes with either PDA or PDA medium amended with carbendazim, which allowed germination rates to be determined at 18 and 48h post-ino...Continue Reading
