MICROORGANISM HETERORHABDITIS MEGIDIS(KCTC 10453BP) HAVING IMPROVED INSECTICIDAL ACTIVITY ON LEPIDOPTERA, USEFUL FOR CONTROL OF LEPIDOPTERA INSECTS

摘要

PURPOSE: A microorganism Heterorhabditis megidis(KCTC 10453BP) is provided, which microorganism has improved insecticidal activity on Lepidoptera insects and different ITS rDNA nucleotide sequence from previously known Heterorhabditis megidis, so that the microorganism can be useful for control of Lepidoptera insects. CONSTITUTION: The microorganism Heterorhabditis megidis(KCTC 10453BP) having improved insecticidal activity on Lepidoptera insects is provided, wherein Heterorhabditis megidis(KCTC 10453BP) is isolated from the soil; and the Lepidoptera insects include Galleria mellonella, Plodia interpunctella, Hyphanria cunea, Spodoptera exigua and Bombyx mori.. A composition for control of Lepidoptera insects comprises Heterorhabditis megidis(KCTC 10453BP).
