Beauveria bassiana against the coffee borer
The "Beauveria bassiana" strain CG716 was isolated by Embrapa Florestas
Scientists have identified the potential for biological control of borer and fusariosis in the species Beauveria caledonica; action of the microorganism would complement traditional field management strategies
The fungus Beauveria caledonica has simultaneous action against banana fusariosis - Panama disease and its strains have potential for managing "borer" or "banana moleque", two of the main phytosanitary problems of the crop
Researchers used the liquid production method, which allows for shorter production time and greater yield; In addition to controlling some phytopathogenic fungi and insect pests, the fungus also promotes plant growth
A team of scientists from the Federal University of Lavras and Embrapa Meio Ambiente evaluated the effect of applying sewage sludge, chicken litter, fish hydrolyzate and pig waste to the soil, in experiments carried out in Lavras and Sete Lagoas, MG
