Entomopathogenic fungi exists naturally in plants as an asymptote and have the potential to reduce the population of insect pests through indirect interactions. This study was conducted to detect and characterize the endophytic fungi and from the rhizosphere soil of tomato plants and their virulence effect on
From the rhizosphere soil of 40 tomato fields, three and seven isolates were isolated using the galleria bait method. All fungi isolate were morphologically characterized by their colony color, shape, and surface texture. Isolates with the highest percentages of germination, conidial yield, and radial growth were selected, and their virulence was evaluated on second instar larvae of under laboratory conditions.
In this study, showed white colony color and aseptate hyphae, whereas Maximum spore production and conidial length were obtained by isolate APPRC-27 with 2.67x10 spores ml and 3.24 µm, respectively. Colony radial growth rates ranged from 1.73 to 3.24 mm day . The results revealed that the highest mortality rate of (100%) was obtained by isolates K-61 and K-102 at a concentration of 1x10 conidial ml at 7 days post-inoculation. The lowest mortality rate was registered by isolate RST-11.
In the present study, isolates Therefore, virulent entomopathogenic fungi, and , are promising bioagents for the control of insect pests.
昆虫病原真菌在植物中自然存在，作为一种渐近线，通过间接相互作用有潜力降低害虫种群。本研究旨在检测和描述番茄植物根际土壤中的内生真菌，并研究它们对
采用蕈诱法从 40 个番茄田的根际土壤中分离出三种 和七种 内生真菌。所有真菌分离物均通过其菌落颜色、形状和表面质地进行形态学特征描述。选择具有最高萌发率、产孢量和径向生长率的分离物，并在实验室条件下评估它们对二龄幼虫的毒力。
在这项研究中， 表现出白色菌落颜色和无隔菌丝，而 最大孢子产量和分生孢子长度分别由 分离物 APPRC-27 获得，为 2.67x10 个孢子 ml 和 3.24 µm。菌落径向生长速率范围为 1.73 至 3.24 mm 天。结果表明，在 7 天接种后，浓度为 1x10 个分生孢子 ml 时， 分离物 K-61 和 K-102 对 的死亡率最高（100%）。死亡率最低的是 分离物 RST-11。
在本研究中，分离出的 因此，具有毒力的昆虫病原真菌 和 是防治害虫的有前途的生物制剂。
