Identification and environment-friendly biocontrol potential of five different bacteria against Aphis punicae and Aphis illinoisensis (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

The current work is aimed at isolating and identifying new Entomopathogenic bacterium (EPB) strains associated with Steinernema feltiae and assessing the EPB’s biocontrol potential on Aphis punicae and Aphis illinoisensis adults in the laboratory. From S. feltiae, five bacterial isolates were isolat...

description The current work is aimed at isolating and identifying new Entomopathogenic bacterium (EPB) strains associated with Steinernema feltiae and assessing the EPB’s biocontrol potential on Aphis punicae and Aphis illinoisensis adults in the laboratory. From S. feltiae, five bacterial isolates were isolated and molecularly characterized. Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus strain TU-2, Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus strain BN-13, Serratia liquefaciens strain TU-6, Stenotrophomonas tumulicola strain T5916-2-1b, and Pseudochrobactrum saccharolyticum strain CCUG are the strains. Pathogenicity tests demonstrated that bacterial cells were more toxic against the two aphid species than bacterial cell-free supernatants. S. tumulicola strain T5916-2-1b cells and filtrate were reported to have the strongest potential to kill A. punicae and A. illinoisensis individuals within 6 h after treatment, with 100% mortality of both insects 24 and 48 h after treatment. Based on the results of the study, it looked like endogenous Steinernema-associated EPB could be used directly as a biocontrol agent for A. punicae and A. illinoisensis.
