The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) for the control of aphid pests of field vegetable crops. Four biopesticides based on the EPF Beauveria bassiana (Botanigard ES and Naturalis L), Cordyceps fumosorosea s.l. (Preferal WG), and Akanthomyces dipterigenus (Vertalec) were evaluated in a laboratory bioassay against peach-potato aphid Myzus persicae, cabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae, and currant-lettuce aphid Nasonovia ribisnigri. There was significant variation in the spore dose provided by the products, with Botanigard ES producing the highest dose (639 viable spores per mm2). Botanigard ES also caused more mortality than the other products. Combining Vertalec with the vegetable oil-based adjuvant Addit had an additive effect on the mortality of B. brassicae. All fungal products reduced the number of progeny produced by M. persicae but there was no effect with B. brassicae or N. ribisnigri. When aphid nymphs were treated with Botanigard ES and Preferal WG, both products reduced population development, with up to 86% reduction occurring for Botanigard ES against M. persicae. In a field experiment, Botanigard ES sprayed twice, at seven-day intervals, against B. brassicae on cabbage plants, reduced aphid numbers by 73%. In a second field experiment with B. brassicae, M. persicae, and N. ribisnigri, Botanigard ES reduced populations of B. brassicae and N. ribisnigri but there was no significant effect on M. persicae.

Previous work in Britain has shown that insecticides, even systemic ones, fail to protect brassica plants in the seed-bed from virus diseases transmitted by aphids, and an explanation was sought through experiments carried out at Rothamsted. Observations on the effect on apterae and alates of Myzus persicae (Sulz.) of contact with leaves detached from cauliflower plants previously treated with a 0·2 per cent. DDT emulsion spray showed that exposure for up to 30 min. was insufficient to kill the majority of those tested, although many were temporarily incapacitated; alatae of Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) were even less affected.In cage experiments using infected and healthy cauliflower seedlings, apterae of M. persicae were able to transmit cauliflower mosaic virus (ClMV) and cabbage black ring spot virus (CBRSV) from infected to healthy seedlings when no spray was used, but failed to do so when the infected plants were sprayed with DDT; when alates were used in similar tests using only CBRSV, only low rates of transmission were obtained. In similar experiments using turnip seedlings and ClMV, transmission by apterae of M. persicae was high on untreated plants when the infector plant was itself untreated, but distinctly lower when it was sprayed with DDT; alates of M. persicae were found to transmit ClMV from a DDT-treated infector to untreated plants but not to a treated plant. Virus spread was thus reduced but not prevented by the use of DDT sprays. It is considered that these results lend support to the hypothesis that increase of virus within a seed-bed is preponderantly the result of the arrival, in succession, of many individual viruliferous alates from outside.
