摘要: The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is one of the most important agricultural pests worldwide, with chemical application being the primary control method. However, frequent heavy use or misuse of insecticides has accelerated the development of varying degrees of resistance in T. urticae. This makes the chemical control of this mite more challenging. Biocontrol methods have attracted much attention due to their safety and environment-friendly impact. Based on previous observations that the population of T. urticae was infected by unknown pathogenic fungi, we isolated, identified, and evaluated the pathogenicity of the fungi from infected mites. Through available morphological and molecular identification, the fungus was identified as Pseudozyma flocculosa. The virulence activity of the strain was evaluated at different concentrations of spore suspension (106–109 conidia/mL) using a spraying method. The strain showed pathogenic activity against the T. urticae in adult females that varied with different concentrations and temperatures. Meanwhile, the P. flocculosa also had a significant toxic effect on the developmental stages of T. urticae. In the laboratory bioassay, the mortality rate of the tested mites reached 100% at 9 d after P. flocculosa treatment. Additionally, a wettable powder processed with P. flocculosa conidia was applied on the T. urticae in the greenhouse and the control efficacy reached up to 90% at 7 d after treatment. The results showed a high insecticidal activity of P. flocculosa against T. urticae, indicating that this fungus possesses great potential for use as a bio-insecticidal agent.
