Effects of the temperature and storage on formulations with Mycelia of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill and Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorok

This research deals with preparation of experimental formulations with mycelia of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae. The formulations were prepared with sodium alginate and pre-gelatinized corn-starch. They were kept at 25, 30 and 35±1ºC. Pre-gelatinized corn starch was more suitable tha...

Description
Summary:This research deals with preparation of experimental formulations with mycelia of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae. The formulations were prepared with sodium alginate and pre-gelatinized corn-starch. They were kept at 25, 30 and 35±1ºC. Pre-gelatinized corn starch was more suitable that the sodium alginate for the preparations of formulations with mycelia of B. bassiana and M. anisopliae.<br>Este estudo visou a elaboração de formulações experimentais com micélios de Beauveria bassiana e Metarhizium anisopliae. Os experimentos foram desenmvolvidos no laboratório de Patologia de Insetos do Departamento de Entomologia da Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz, em Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brasil. As formulações foram preparadas com alginato de sódio e amido de milho pregelatinizado e submetidas às temperaturas de 25,30 e 35ºC 1ºC. O amido de milho pregelatinizado foi mais adequado que o alginato de sódio para elaboração de formulações com micélios de B. bassiana e M. anisopliae.
