Molecular characterization and pathogenicity of isolates of Beauveria spp. to fall armyworm Caracterização molecular e virulência de isolados de Beauveria spp. contra a lagarta-do-cartucho

The objective of this work was to evaluate the pathogenicity of 24 Beauveria isolates to Spodoptera frugiperda larvae, and characterize them molecularly through rDNA-ITS sequencing and RAPD markers. Sequencing of rDNA-ITS fragments of 570 bp allowed the identification of isolates as B. bassiana or B...
