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 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 2preparation. 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.

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.

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.
