Abstract

Myzocallis coryli (Goetze) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a major hazelnut pest in Iran. This aphid attacks the stems and leaves of Corylus avellana L. hazelnut trees, and as the population grows, it causes the leaves of hazelnut trees to dry and fall, reducing the quality of the nuts. The use of entomopathogenic fungi in the management of hazelnut aphid has been prioritized in order to reduce negative environmental consequences. The isolates IRAN 715C, DEMI001, M14, and V245 from the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae were employed in this work to assess on the adults of M. coryli. To assess the toxicity of four isolates, the Probit tool in SPSS 21 software was employed with a fatal dose of 50% of the LC50. The LC50 values for DEMI001, IRAN715C, M14, and V245 isolates on adults of M. coryli in laboratory and field settings were 1.9×106, 2.34×106, 0.469×106, 1.79×106 and 7150×106, 101000×106, 4860×106, 14700×106 con/ml, respectively. According to the findings of this investigation, isolated M14 is particularly efficient on adult filbert aphids. In addition, a larger concentration of fungal suspensions is required in the field to suppress adult aphids than in the laboratory. The additive or synergistic effects were not seen when assessing the interaction between two effective isolates. As a result, the use of isolate M14 in the hazelnut aphid integrated management program (IPM) is suggested.
