Biocontrol options for Cirsium arvense with indigenous fungal pathogens

As a first step in the development of a mycoherbicide for biological control of Cirsium arvense indigenous fungal pathogens that had been isolated from diseased hosts were tested both singly and in combination on potted plants under environmental conditions. Disease symptoms (necroses, chloroses and macerations) and parameters of growth and development were evaluated to determine the potential for weed control. During 1998, Phoma destructiva, Phoma hedericola, a Mycelia sterilia and Puccinia punctiformis were inoculated singly. With the exception of the obligate biotroph P. punctiformis (local infections), the single inoculations reduced the measured parameters. A combined inoculum of P. punctiformis and Ph. hedericola was less effective than Ph. hedericola alone. In 1999, Ph. hedericola, Ph. destructiva, Ph. nebulosa and the Mycelia sterila were applied both singly and as a combined inoculum. Of all the tested inocula, the mixture of four pathogens had the greatest potential for biocontrol, significantly reducing reproductive capacity of the plants. These results demonstrate the importance of taking advantage of synergisms in developing a mycoherbicide.     

溴菌腈·多菌灵混剂对柑橘炭疽病的防治效果

分别以孢子萌发法与菌丝生长法测定了5种配比的溴菌腈与多菌灵混配剂对柑橘炭疽病菌的毒力.结果表明,各种配比的混配剂都有增效作用,其中以溴菌腈∶多菌灵为3∶4的混配制剂增效作用最显著,孢子萌发法和菌丝生长法的共毒系数分别为268.7、293.4.田间防治试验,按溴菌腈∶多菌灵为3∶4制成的35%溴菌腈·多菌灵混剂WP药后7-21d防治效果达81.6%-91.4%,比25%溴菌腈WP和50%多菌灵WP的防治效果分别提高10%和20%-30%.     

增效剂对菜蚜茧蜂杀虫剂敏感性的影响

以田间菜蚜茧蜂为试虫,采用药膜法研究了增效剂胡椒基丁醚(PB)、磷酸三苯酯(TPP)和马来酸二乙酯(DEM)对6种杀虫剂的增效作用。结果表明,三种增效剂对6种杀虫剂均有显著增效作用,其大小依次为PB>DEM>TPP。PB对甲胺磷、阿维菌素、氟虫腈、氰戊菊酯、氯氰菊酯和吡虫啉的增效比达5.0～9.6倍。TPP和DEM对甲胺磷、DEM对氟虫腈的增效比达2.6～3.0倍,但TPP和DEM对阿维菌素、氰戊菊酯和氯氰菊酯、TPP对氟虫腈的增效比均在1.9倍以下。PB、TPP和DEM对吡虫啉的增效比分别高达9.6、6.8和8.2倍。体内抑制试验结果显示,PB、TPP和DEM对菜蚜茧蜂AChE活性无明显抑制作用,而PB和TPP对羧酸酯酶(CarE)、DEM对谷胱甘肽S转移酶(CST)活性有显著抑制作用。由此认为,菜蚜茧蜂对所用的6种杀虫剂的耐药性与多功能氧化酶(MFO)、CarE和GST的解毒作用有关。
