The in vitro effect of five commonly used herbicides viz., pyridate, fluazifop-P-butyl, foramsulfuron, tembotrione and S-metolachlor on mycelial growth of entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (ATCC 74040) was evaluated each at different concentrations: 100, 75, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 and 0% of recommended field application rate on PDA agar plates at 15 and 25°C. All the five herbicides had fungistatic effect to B. bassiana at varying intensities depending on their concentrations in medium. The present study showed that B. bassiana is very sensitive to the herbicides tested, particularly at recommended as well as lower field dosage.

We applied a proteomic approach in a study of M. laxa isolates obtained from apples and apricots in order to show the host specificity of the isolates and to analyse differentially expressed proteins in terms of host specificity, fungal pathogenesis and identification of candidate proteins for diagnostic marker development. Extracted mycelium proteins were separated by 2-D electrophoresis (2-DE) and visualized by Coomassie staining in a non-linear pH range of 3-11 and Mr of 14-116 kDa. We set up a 2-DE reference map of M. laxa, resolving up to 800 protein spots, and used it for image analysis. Multivariate statistical analysis (principal component analysis) discriminated isolates from two different hosts, providing new data that support the existence of a M. laxa specialized form f. sp. mali, which infects only apples.

The in vitro effect of six commonly used herbicides viz., amidosulfuron, dicamba, metribuzin, pyridate, S-metolachlor and tembotrione on mycelial growth of entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (ATCC 74040) was investigated. All six herbicides had a fungistatic effect of varying intensities, dependent on their rate in medium, on B. bassiana. Sporulation and conidial germination of B. bassiana were significantly inhibited by all tested herbicides.
