The production of aerial conidia of Lecanicillium lecanii 41185, a highly virulent fungus, by solid-state fermentation was studied for use as a biocontrol agent against aphids. Among several agro-industrial solid media, steamed polished rice was found to produce the highest amount of aerial conidia. The optimal conditions for aerial conidia production were determined to be a 28.5% moisture content in the rice, 25$^{\circ}C$ culture temperature, rice pH of 6.0, 75% ambient relative humidity, 4-dold seeding culture, 0.6% $KNO_3$, and 12 d of culture time. The conidia yield increased from $5.7\times10^9$ conidia/g polished rice to 18.2 $18.2\times10^9$ conidia/g polished rice following application of these optimized conditions.

국내에 문제가 되는 담배가루이(Bemisia tabaci)의 살충성 Lecanicillium lecanii Btab01 균주의 생육 특성과 살충력을 검정하였다. PDA, TSA, SDA+Y배지에서 L. lecanii Btab01은 $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$에서 균사성장이 가장 빨랐으며 $28^{\circ}C$이상에서 성장이 억제되었다. L. lecanii Btab01는 고체배양과 액체배양 시 담배가루이 약충에 대해 살충률에 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았다(93.9%, 98.3%). 농도별로는 $10^5$, $10^6$, $10^7$, $10^8$ cfu/ml에서 각각 5.8%, 33.8%, 77.3%, 98.5%의 살충률을 보였고 각각 16.1일, 7.3일, 5.1일, 3.5일의 $LT_{50}$값을 나타내었다. L. lecanii Btab01을 약충에 처리 후 포화습도 조건을 0 시간 24 시간, 168 시간 유지하였을 때, 0%, 20.3%, 100%의 살충률을 보였다. 균주에 0.5% 식용유를 첨가하였을 때 포자의 발아가 2 배 가량 증가하였으며 균주에 0.1% 식용유를 첨가하여 약충에 처리했을 때(98.6%)가 첨가하지 않았을 때(79.9%)보다 살충력이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

Concerns of entomopathogenic fungi as alternative pest control agents are increasing even though chemical pesticides have been used as the main control agents for pests and diseases in crop production. This study was conducted to test the influence of fungicides and insecticides on an isolate of Lecanicillium attenuatum that was reported to have the pathogenicity against cotton aphid, because fungicides and/or insecticides can apply with mycopesticides simultaneous, before and/or after. Fungicides fenbuconazole+thiram and propineb inhibited the spore germination and mycelial growth of L. attenuatum CS625; dimethomorph and procymidone did not affect spore germination or mycelial growth. The insecticide abamectin, deltamethrin, imidachropride, and spinosad had no detrimental effects on spore germination or mycelial growth. Therefore, these results demonstrated that careful selection of pesticides and fungicides can be applied to the integrated pest and disease control with microbial pesticide.
