White grub (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) mortality induced by Ophiocordyceps melolonthae

White grub (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) mortality induced by Ophiocordyceps melolonthae

ABSTRACT: The occurrence of white grub roots in soybean crops in the South of Brazil has gradually increased. However, there is not information on the biological control of grubs by entomopathogenic fungi. This study aimed to induce infection by Ophiocordyceps melolonthae and analyze longevity in Cyclocephala modesta and Dyscinetus gagates larvae (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae). In the laboratory, Cyclocephala modesta and Dyscinetus gagates had a mortality rate of 85% and 75%, respectively.
