AbstractThe susceptibility of larvae of the cabbage root fly (Delia radicum) to ten isolates of entomopathogenic nematodes was examined in a glasshouse experiment using cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) as the host plant. Steinernema affine Horticulture Research International (HRI) code 179 provided the highest level of control, killing approximately 46% of the cabbage root fly within 28 days. Two Heterorhabditis isolates (HRI code K122 and UK211) and Steinernema E1 and F1 (HRI code 194 and GWE63) did not give any significant control. In a second experiment, S. affine was applied against cabbage root fly larvae at 8000 to 64 000 nematodes per pot, and its performance was compared to identical dose applications of Nemasys®, a commercial formulation of S. feltiae. Averaged over the four dose rates, S. affine controlled significantly more cabbage root fly (36%) than Nemasys® (10.4%).

AbstractRoot-associated entomopathogenic fungi (R-AEF) indirectly influence herbivorous insect performance. However, host plant-R-AEF interactions and R-AEF as biological control agents have been studied independently and without much attention to the potential synergy between these functional traits. In this study, we evaluated behavioral responses of cabbage root flies [Delia radicum L. (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)] to a host plant (white cabbage cabbage Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. alba cv. Castello L.) with and without the R-AEF Metarhizium brunneum (Petch). We performed experiments on leaf reflectance, phytohormonal composition and host plant location behavior (behavioral processes that contribute to locating and selecting an adequate host plant in the environment). Compared to control host plants, R-AEF inoculation caused, on one hand, a decrease in reflectance of host plant leaves in the near-infrared portion of the radiometric spectrum and, on the other, an increase in the production of jasmonic, (+)-7-iso-jasmonoyl-l-isoleucine and salicylic acid in certain parts of the host plant. Under both greenhouse and field settings, landing and oviposition by cabbage root fly females were positively affected by R-AEF inoculation of host plants. The fungal-induced change in leaf reflectance may have altered visual cues used by the cabbage root flies in their host plant selection. This is the first study providing evidence for the hypothesis that R-AEF manipulate the suitability of their host plant to attract herbivorous insects.
