MICROORGANISM VERTICILLIUM LECANII CS626 AND METHOD FOR THE CONTROL OF HARMFUL INSECTS USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A microorganism Verticillium lecanii CS626 and a method for the control of harmful insects using the same microorganism are provided, thereby effectively preventing the growth of the harmful insects living in agricultural equipments. CONSTITUTION: The microorganism Verticillium lecanii CS626(KFCC-11277) has an improved insecticidal effect on the harmful insects living in agricultural equipments, wherein it is isolated by collecting a mycelium from the surface of an insect infected by Verticillium lecanni; inoculating the mycelium on a potato agar medium containing tetracycline; culturing it at 22 to 28 deg. C; isolating spores and mycelia from the cultured medium; suspending the isolated spores in 0.01% tween 80 solution; spraying the suspension on a leaf containing insects; and selecting a microorganism showing excellent insecticidal activity.
