Wongsorn, D., Boksanthai, P., Kueacharun, O.-U., & Saenmahayak, B. 2025 The proteolytic and lipolytic activities of entomopathogenic fungi isolates and their effectiveness in controlling the mealybug Dysmicoccus neobrevipes. International Journal of Agriculture & Biology 34: 1-8

Keywords:

  • biological control
  • entomopathogenic fungi
  • Notes: This study focused on selecting effective EPF isolates obtained from Nakhon Ratchasima province for controlling mealybugs and investigating their relationship with protease and lipase activity. A total of 12 isolates of Metarhizium spp. were obtained. This study suggests that enzyme activity is correlated with EPF virurence, underscoring NMMet_SS2/2 as a promising candidate for field testing. https://doi.org/10.17957/IJAB/15.2351
