Abstract
Beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua is difficult to control using chemical insecticides because of the fast development of insecticide resistance. For eco-friendly beet armyworm managements, various control agents are required. Entomopathogenic fungus is one of the promise control agents as an alternative to chemical control agent. We isolated entomopathogenic fungi from soil samples of Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do by insect-bait method using Tenebio molitor and conducted bioassay to larva of beet armyworm. The result of bioassay, a selected strain FT83 showed 100% mortality against third instar larva of S. exigua. On the basis of morphological characteristics and analysis of 18srRNA sequence for ITS, the strain FT83 was identified as a Metarhizium anisopliae. The mortality of beet armyworm showed $81.6{\pm}9.3%$ at $1{\times}10^6$ conidia/ml, 100% at $1{\times}10^7$ conidia/ml and 100% at $1{\times}10^8$ conidia/ml respectively. Therefore, we recommend to proper control efficacy against S. exigua in which more than $1{\times}10^7$ conidia/ml suspension of M. anisopliae FT83.
