The purpose of the research was to determine the best concentration of Beauveria bassiana and identify the best substrate for the behavior of the fungus, proposed a method of biological control for the insect. The present research was carried out in the Agronomy Laboratory of the Technical University of Cotopaxi, a completely random block design (DBCA) was used with a factorial arrangement of A x B + 1 additional with seven treatments and four repetitions, where the factors under study were; Factor A concentrations of Beauveria bassiana (108, 109, 1010 conidia/ml) and Factor B (sterilized and unsterilized substrate) obtaining a total of 28 experimental units with 10 larvae of (Phyllophaga spp.) for each experimental unit. The variables determined were percentage of mortality and concentration of conidia/ml 108, 109, 1010. The results obtained by means of an ADEVA were the treatments, concentrations and interactions of factors A and B that gave highly significant, in which Tukey tests were proposed at 5% to determine which treatment is rebound, the analysis of Factor B was not significant. The result for the percentage of mortality was determined in treatment six (T6) that corresponds to the application of Beauveria bassiana with a concentration of 1010 conidia / ml in the unsterilized substrate, reaching 95% mortality, being the best compared to the additional one that did not present dead larvae. Therefore it is concluded that the best concentration was 1010 conidia/ML in unsterilized soil. |
