Abstract

The agroforestry system with its diversity of vegetation has the potential on the existence of antagonistic and entomopathogen fungi. This study was conducted to evaluate the diversity of antagonistic fungi and entomopathogen fungi in the rhizosphere and pine leaf litters on pine monoculture and intercropping pine - coffee. The research was started from plot determination, sampling, fungal identification, antagonist test and pathogenicity test. The results of isolation of fungi from pine leaf litter on monoculture pine and intercropping pine-coffee fields obtained 17 genus of fungi. In monoculture pine, there 9 genus of fungi were found, while other 4 were still unidentified. In pine-coffee intercropping land 13 genus were observed. Based on the potential and bility tests, Acremonium sp. 3 and Penicillium sp. 2 has the highest inhibiton capacity, while isolate Paecilomyces sp. 1 and Paecilomyces sp. 2 had the best level of pathogenicity and mortality. Temperature and humidity did not affect the diversity of fungi. The diversity of entompathogenic and antagonistic fungi was higher in the pine-coffee intercropping land use. The litter plots had higher fungal diversity than the rhizosphere.

Abstract

Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) can be an eco-friendly alternative to control pests. To produce large-scale EPF requires underused economical substrates containing high carbon and nitrogen; hence the production could be cost-effective. This study investigates the effects of organic agricultural waste, i.e., rice bran, rice husks, tea dregs, and wheat bran enriched with cricket powder as culture media on the mycelial growth, sporulation, and conidia viability of Beauveria bassiana and the fungal pathogenicity towards Spodoptera litura larvae. For each type of medium, five independent cultures of B. bassiana are treated as replications. B. bassiana grown on a  PDA medium is treated as a control. This study shows that rice bran enriched with cricket powder became the most suitable waste medium to support the mass production of virulent B. bassiana. Therefore, rice bran media enriched with cricket powder can be used as an appropriate medium for the mass production of B. bassiana.
