| dc.description.abstract | <p>Entomopathogenic ascomycete fungi are ubiquitous in soil and on phylloplanes, and are important natural enemies of many soil-borne arthropods including larval western corn rootworm, <em>Diabrotica virgifera virgifera</em>, which is a major pest of corn. We measured the prevalence of <em>Beauveria bassiana</em> and<em>Metarhizium anisopliae</em> sensu lato in ten cornfields in Iowa, USA by baiting with larval insects. <em>B</em>. <em>bassiana</em>and <em>M</em>. <em>anisopliae</em> s.l. were present in 60% ± 6.3% and 55% ± 6.4% of soil samples, respectively. Subsequent laboratory bioassays found that some <em>M</em>. <em>anisopliae</em> s.l. strains collected from cornfields killed a greater proportion of <em>D</em>.<em>v</em>. <em>virgifera</em> larvae than a standard commercial strain.</p> | |
