Entomopathogenic fungus
Beauveria bassiana
plays an important role in biological control of agricultural and forest pests. Fermentation period and sporulation quantity were regarded as the main evaluation indexes of
B. bassiana
fermentation. Influence of plant growth regulators on the conidial production of
B. bassiana
strain JG-17 was investigated. The results showed that the conidial production was significantly increased by spraying ethephon solution on the fungal colony at the vegetative growth stage. The sporulation in the fungal colony treated with 100 ng/cm
2
of ethephon on the 8
th
day of cultivation was 6.28 times of that in the control. No significant differences were observed in heat resistance, UV resistance and virulence against target pests of the conidia between the ethephon treatment and the control. A reasonable application of ethephon to the culture of
B. bassiana
can effectively improve the sporulation efficiency of
B. bassiana
. The results provide a new idea to improve mass production efficiency of fungal pesticides

To establish a whole season biological control technology for broad bean diseases and pests to promote the production of organic broad beans in Qinghai, we determined the biological activities of 9 biopesticides on
Aphis craccivora
Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae), broad bean chocolate spot and fusarium wilt using laboratory and field tests. The laboratory bioassay tests showed that the four biopesticides had significant activities against
A. craccivora
. Among them, 0.3% matrine AS was the best, with LC
50
of 24 h and 48 h of 7.33 mg/L and 5.66 mg/L, respectively. The field tests showed that 0.3% matrine AS and 0.5% veratrine soluble concentrate (SL) had significant control on
A. craccivora
, with the control efficacy of 76.00%-83.00% at 7 d after application of 500-fold dilution. The mixture of 10% berberine wettable powders (WP) and
Bacillus subtilis
(100 billion spores/g) WP had a synergistic effect on the control efficacy of broad bean chocolate spot, with the control efficacy of 73.98%-77.79% at 14 d after application of the 500.0 g/hm

preparation.
Paenibacillus polymyxa
(1 billion CFU/g) WP and
Trichoderma harzianum
(≥200 million live spores/g) WP were more effective against broad bean fusarium wilt than the other two biopesticides, with the control efficacy of 74.23% and 71.01% at 14 d after application, respectively. Therefore, 0.3% matrine AS, 0.5% veratrine SL, 10% berberine WP,
Bacillus subtilis
WP,
Paenibacillus polymyxa
WP and
Trichoderma harzianum
WP have excellent control on the three main diseases and pests of broad bean. The results are of significance for whole season biological control technology for organic, green and safe production of broad bean in Qinghai province.

Gray mold (
Botrytis cinerea
) is the main fungal disease of strawberry both during growth and after harvest,seriously affecting the yield and quality of strawberry.In this study,the control effects of salicylic acid,
Trichoderma harziana
and
Fusarium oxysporum
on the disease in fruits were determined.Field tests showed that the non-pathogenic
F.oxysporum
F-1 suppressed the disease by 70.06%,equal to the efficacy of 1000-times diluted 400g/L pyrimethanil suspension.Preliminary study on the suppression mechanism of F-1 on postharvest gray mold of strawberry showed that F-1 fermentation broth reduced hyphal adhesion of
B.cinerea
and inhibited germination rate of
B.cinerea
conidia by 19.8%.The activities of catalase,peroxidase and superoxide dismutase of strawberry could be maximally increased up to 13.6 U/g,158.9 U/g and 269 U/g respectively,after 2 days of inoculation of F-1 conidia and fermentation broth.The results suggest that
F.oxysporum
F-1 has the potential to be applied of in control of strawberry gray mold disease.

Bacillus thuringiensis
(Bt) can produce a variety of pesticidal active substances and is one of the most widely used microbial insecticides.Recent studies have shown that Bt is of high control of chemical insecticide resistant pests and that combined use of Bt with chemical insecticides can improve the control efficiency and reduce the usage of chemical insecticides.To improve the synergistic pest control between Bt and chemical insecticides,this study investigated the compatibility of different subspecies of Bt strains with frequenctly used chemical insecticides.Pan-genomic analysis showed that Bt strains from different subspecies differed significantly in their genetic composition,suggesting that Bt strains may respond differently to chemical insecticides.Further analysis of the effect of chemical insecticides on Bt proliferation showed that chlorfenapyr inhibited most of the tested Bt strains,indicating that the compatibility between Bt and chemical insecticides needs to be measured when they are used in combination.The Bt insecticide subspecies Bt
kurstaki
(Btk) and Bt
aizawai
(Bta) frequently used for the control of lepidopteran pests showed synergistical control with beta-cypermethrin.To Btk strain HD1,chlorantraniliprole and indoxacarb exhibited some inhibitory effect,while chlorfluazuron promoted growth,indicating that HD1 and chlorfluazuron can be used synergistically.For Bta strain G03,indoxacarb had less negative effect,chlorfluazuron was inhibitory,and chlorantraniliprole was promotional,showing that G03 and its derivatives can be used synergistically with chlorantraniliprole and indoxacarb.The results indicate that the sensitivity of Bt to chemical insecticides differ between strains,indicating that combinations between Bt and chemicals with high compatibility can be obtained through screening.Our data also shed light on the further combination of Bt insecticide and chemical insecticide,which is important for the reduction of chemical pesticide application.

In order to study the biological control method of
Colletotrichum fructicola
and develop new botanical pesticides,the inhibitory effects of 70 extracts from 49 plants on
C.fruticola
were determined by growth rate method.The extracts with significant inhibition activity were screened out,and their antifungal toxicity were determined by concentration gradient test.Petroleum ether extract of
Laggera pterodonta
and ethyl acetate extract of
Leonurus artemisia
showed potent antifungal activity against
C.fruticola
,
with inhibitory rates of 54.48% and 50.75%,respectively,at the concentration of 1 mg/mL,and their corresponding medium effective concentrations (EC
50
) were 0.7013 and 0.6246 mg/mL,respectively.The above results provided a theoretical basis for further development of botanical fungicides by using
L.pterodonta
and
L.artemisia
.

E
ctropis obliqua
(Prout) and
Ectropis grisescens
Warren (Lepidopotera: Geometridae) are two of the most destructive chewing pests in China’s tea plantations. Two of the parasitic wasps, which previously reported as
Apanteles
spp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Microgastrinae), can play important role in controlling
Ectropis
spp. during the larval stage in nature. In order to determine the species names and morphological differences of the two wasps, and to confirm whether these two species are common parasitic wasps of
E. obliqua
and
E. grisescens
, we identified the wasp specimens emerged from
E. obliqua
and
E. grisescens
that
were
collected from 22 locations in 8 provinces of China and reared in the laboratory, and compared the
COI
sequences of the voucher specimens with those of known species recorded in the BOLD database. The findings revealed that both parasitic wasps emerged from
E. obliqua
as well as
E. grisescens
during the larval stage. Based on morphological and molecular data, these two species of
Apanteles
spp. were identified as
Protapanteles immunis
(Haliday, 1834) and
Parapanteles hyposidrae
(Wilkinson, 1928). In conclusion, this study has confirmed the specific species names and morphological characteristics of the two wasps reported as
Apanteles
sp. in China more than 40 years ago, which are common larval parasitic wasps of
E. obliqua
and
E. grisescens
, and the
P. immunis
is recorded for the first time in China. These results provide a scientific basis for accurately identifying indigenous dominant parasitic wasps, which might help manage
E. obliqua
and
E. grisescens
.

In this study, a bacterial strain hzq1601 antagonizing against
Fusarium graminearum
was isolated from rice stubble by plate antagonism test, and was identified as
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens
according to its 16S rRNA and
gyrB
gene sequences. Compatibility analysis between this strain and carbendazim fungicide showed that the strain hzq1601 survived normally in 1000 mg/L carbendazim solution. The results of field experiment showed that the control effect of 10
8
cfu/mL hzq1601 fermentation broth respectively combined with 50% carbendazim WP at the dose of 80 g/667 m
2
and 70 g/667 m
2
on fusarium head blight were 87.1% and 81.0%, that was comparable to that of 50% carbendazim WP at the dose of 100 g/667 m
2
alone, and significantly higher than those of 50% carbendazim WP at the dose of 80 g/667 m
2
or 70 g/667 m
2
alone. The results showed that the combined use of fermentation broth and carbendazim could reduce the application amount of carbendazim, improve the control effect on fusarium head blight. Genomic analysis suggested that the strain hzq1601 harbored 13 secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters, which implied that
B.amyloliquefaciens
hzq1601 exhibited a multifaceted biocontrol potential.
