    Field experiments of using Metarhizium flavoviride ultra low volume oil spray to control grassland grasshoppers were carried out in Inner Mongolia in 1999. Results showed that the oil spray was effective to all the 5 species of grasshoppers, namely, Oedaleus decorus asiaticus B. Bienko, Angaracris rhodopa (F. W.), Dasyhippus barbipes (F. W.), Bryodema luctuosum luctuosum (Stoll) and B.tuberculatum dilutum (Stoll). 8 d after application, 48.0% of O.decorus asiaticus was killed and the mortality increased to 88.1% at the end of 12th day. New spores of the green fungus appeared on the dead locusts 7~10 d later. It was probable that the spores emerged from the locust cadaver would infect those locusts which had escaped the fungal spray.

    The endophytic antifungal bacteria were isolated and screened from Capsicum frutescens. Results indicated that population of endophytic bacteria ranged from 2.83×10 3 to 13.46×10 3 cfu per gram of fresh weight although it might vary depending on variety, tissue and planting location of the plant. Population of the endophytic bacteria were biggest in leaf, secondly in root, thirdly in stem and smallest in fruit. Leaf taken from capsicum planted in irrigated field harbored a bigger population of endophytic bacteria than that from non irrigated field. But for the endophytic bacteria in root, stem and fruit, plants growing non-irrigated field harbored more than that frowing in irrigated field. Of the 108 strains isolated, 28.7% expressed antagonism against growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum. Two of them (BS-2 and BS-1) were found not only to be inhibitive to the growth of some fungal pathogens, but also have 57.34%-94.08% control effect to the anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. These two strains were identified as Bacillus subtilis.

    Abstract250)      PDF(pc) (175KB)(447)       Save

    30 strains of Bacillus thuringiensis were isolated from 858 samples of dryland, vegetable garden and rice soils in different ecological regions of Hunan province. One was selected from them as original strain7012c typical of B. thuringiensis. By means of multiple mutagenesis of UV and double NTG+LiCl and through microscopic examination of smear dyeing, it was first found that the insecticidal activity of B. thuringiensis closely related with the shape, size and number of the crystal protein and the proportion of spore and crystal protein. One high toxic mutation, strain 4.0718, was selected, and its toxicity to the larval of Plutella xylostella was 7.5 times higher than that of strain7012c and the lethal rate reached to 20%, 97% and 100% respectively after treatment of 6, 12 and 24 h. The virulence of 4.0718 did not change after transferation of ten generations.

    Abstract337)      PDF(pc) (171KB)(1200)       Save
    9 antagonistic Trichoderma spp. and 10 bacterial isolates against the pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum were isolated and selected from hundreds of soil and plant roots samples. Among the strains, Trichoderma viride TR 8 and Bacillus sp. B67 were the most effective ones and fermented to prepare their inocula and their mixture named Jiangenbao. Inoculation tests in greenhouse showed that all the biocontrol agents had good control effectiveness for control of watermelon wilt disease. Jiangenbao dust was more effective than its rwo constituents used alone. In field trials, when Jiangenbao dust diluted with soil at the ratio of 1∶50 was applied into seed delves before sowing, 80% control effect against watermelon wilt was obtained, which was apparently higher than that of carbendazim and amino-oligosaccharin. Furthermore, it was also observed that Jiangenbao dust could enhance watermelon plant growth.

    B946 (Bacillus cereus), a strain of the beneficial endophytic bacteria isolated from wheat, could prevent sharp eyespot of wheat. After it was marked with streptomycin and rifampin, colonization of the strain sprayed onto leaves in root, stem-base and leaf of wheat was investigated through diluting method. The results showed that the target strain could colonize internal leaf tissues inoculated by B946 and transfer to internal stem-base, the other leaves and root. And it could also transfer to stem-base and leaf of wheat when seeds were dipped. Higher concentration than 108 cfu/ml, 3h for seed treatment, and plant-growing temperature at 25℃ were good for the colonization and transference.

    Abstract373)      PDF(pc) (148KB)(1021)       Save
    The physiology and biochemistry resistance of induced by oligochitosan in tobacco to combat against TMV infection were studied. Tests on some defensive enzymes indicated that the activity of peroxidase (PO), catalase (CAT), polyphenoloxidase (PPO), phenlalanine ammonialyase (PAL) and β-1.3 glucanase in tobacco leaves increased after treatment with oligochitosan. Spraying oligochitosan could result in 7 bands of PO isoenzyme in leaves. So it was preliminarily considered that the induced resistance of oligochitosan in tobacco to resist against TMV was closely related to the activity and zymogram type of PO isoenzyme. There was no correlation between the activity of SOD, CAT or PPO and the induced resistance. Activity of PAL and β-1.3 glucanase was clearly increased after spraying oligochitosan or inoculating TMV, but the cumulative response of the two factors was not clear.

    The cold hardiness of overwintering individuals of emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairnaire, and its two parasitoids, Spathius agrili Yang (Hym., Braconidae) and Tetrastichus planipennisi Yang (Hym., Eulophidae) were determined. Results indicated that the super-cooling point and freezing point of EAB ranged from -26.38 to -23.04℃ and from -21.72 to -11.64℃, respectively. The super-cooling point and freezing point of S. agrili were -26.28℃ and -22.50℃, respectively; and of T. planipennisi, -24.48℃ and -21.87℃, respectively. Potential geographical distribution of EAB and the two parasitoids was estimated on the base of the current results and local climate, and it is suggested that local low temperature has little influence on their overwintering population.
