However, the fact that a chemical product reduces the mycelial growth of an entomopathogenic fungus is not necessarily indicative of a significant reduction in conidial sporulation and germination (Zimmermann 1975).
Effects of physical and nutritional stress conditions during mycelial growth on conidial germination speed, adhesion to host cuticle, and virulence of Metarhizium anisopliae, an entomopathogenic fungus.
In a previous assay,
conidial suspensions were found less pathogenic to RPW than the same amount of dry conidia formulations in this study.
It is the same with report of Alternaria alternata on Chenopodium album, the fungus produced obclavate to obpyriform conidia with a short conical or cylindrical apical beak not exceeding one third of the
conidial length, or beakless, smooth walled or verruculose, slightly constricted with 3-8 transverse septa, the lower part each portion had one or two longitudinal septa [17].
The conidial states of these species are morphologically very similar to that of A.
Ascomata and conidial heads developed throughout the culture.
The halos in D-E (arrows) formed upon
conidial attachment to hard surfaces.
Probit analysis test showed that the medium lethal
conidial concentrations (L[c.
The most common fungal pathogen application technique, spraying trees with
conidial suspensions, can become cost prohibitive for multiple treatments of groves.
A lack of nutrients on sclerotized beetle cuticle can be a limiting factor in fungal growth and development, including
conidial germination (Hunt et al.
mellonella were inoculated in each Petri dish with 1 mL spray of a
conidial suspension of each fungal isolate.
Conidial suspensions were formulated in citroline (a mineral oil derived from petroleum for agricultural use in Mexico) by mixing 1 g of
conidial powder in 100 mL with a magnetic stirrer.
