Abstract
Concerns of entomopathogenic fungi as alternative pest control agents are increasing even though chemical pesticides have been used as the main control agents for pests and diseases in crop production. This study was conducted to test the influence of fungicides and insecticides on an isolate of Lecanicillium attenuatum that was reported to have the pathogenicity against cotton aphid, because fungicides and/or insecticides can apply with mycopesticides simultaneous, before and/or after. Fungicides fenbuconazole+thiram and propineb inhibited the spore germination and mycelial growth of L. attenuatum CS625; dimethomorph and procymidone did not affect spore germination or mycelial growth. The insecticide abamectin, deltamethrin, imidachropride, and spinosad had no detrimental effects on spore germination or mycelial growth. Therefore, these results demonstrated that careful selection of pesticides and fungicides can be applied to the integrated pest and disease control with microbial pesticide.
