Host range and virulence of Metarhizium pingshaense against Chilo species and expression of fungal virulence genes in Conogethes punctiferalis

Abstract The infectivity and virulence of Metarhizium pingshaense was tested against three major pests: Chilo infuscatellus (sugarcane early shoot borer), C. sacchariphagus indicus (sugarcane internode borer) and C. partellus (sorghum stem borer). Bioassay studies indicated high pathogenicity of thi...
