Compatibility and synergistic interactions of fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae, and insecticide combinations against the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
2022
Overview
Aphids are major pests affecting cereals, vegetables, fruit, forestry and horticultural produce. A multimodal approach may be an effective route to controlling this prolific pest. We assessed the individual and combined effect of eight insecticides and the entomopathogenic fungi,
Metarhizium anisopliae
(Metschin.) against the cotton aphid,
Aphis gossypii
Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae), under laboratory conditions. Six of the insecticides tested were found to be highly compatible (flonicamid, imidacloprid, nitenpyram, dinotefuran, pyriproxyfen and spirotetramat), showing positive integration with the fungus and were selected for bioassays. The combination mixtures (1:1 ratio of
M. anisopliae
: insecticide) were significantly more toxic to
A. gossypii
than individual treatments. Maximum mortality (91.68%) of
A. gossypii
was recorded with combination of flonicamid and
M. anisopliae
(2.4 × 10
6
cfu/ml) 72 h after application. While minimum mortality (17.08%) was observed with the individual treatment of
M. anisopliae
(2.4 × 10
6
cfu/ml). The insecticides revealed toxicity consistent with their compatibility with
M. anisopliae,
ranking for efficacy exactly as they did for compatibility. In addition, the synergy factor (SF) and co-toxicity coefficient (CTC) values indicated synergistic interactions at different time intervals. The synergistic efficacy revealed the potential of fungus-insecticide integration against sucking insect pests.
