Journal of Tropical Mycorrhiza
ISSN : -     EISSN : 2829467X     DOI : -
Journal of Tropical Mycorrhiza is an international journal devoted to research into mycorrhizas - the widest symbioses in nature, involving plants and a range of soil fungi world-wide. The journal covers research into mycorrhizas, including molecular biology of the plants and fungi, fungal systematics, development and structure of mycorrhizas, and effects on plant physiology, productivity, reproduction and disease resistance. Coverage extends to interactions between mycorrhizal fungi and other soil organisms, and effects of mycorrhizas on plant biodiversity, ecosystem structure, reclamation and restoration of degraded land. Journal of Tropical Mycorrhiza presents original papers, short notes and review articles, along with commentaries and news items. It offers a platform for new concepts and discussions, and serves as the basis for a forum of mycorrhizologists from around the world.

Abstract

The entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana are potential biological control agents for suppressing the population of the wood grasshopper (Valanga nigricornis). This study aims to evaluate the antagonistic ability of the fungi M. anisopliae and B. bassiana against the wood grasshopper (Valanga nigricornis). This study is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, applying inoculum suspension at four concentration levels (P1, P2, P3, and P4) and observing insect mortality and colony growth in culture media. The results showed that the P4 suspension treatment produced the highest mortality of 92% with a probit value of 1.28, while mortality in other treatments ranged from 0 to 75%. The highest infection viability showed that in the P4 treatment, the CFU value was 3.0×106 for M. anisopliae and 1.4×106 for B. bassiana. These findings indicate that high inoculum concentrations increase the antagonistic effectiveness and infection ability of entomopathogenic fungi.
