Isolation Entomopathogenic fungi From the Two-Spotted Spider Mite [Tetranychus urticae Koch, 1836 (Acari: Tetranychidae)] at Erzincan Province

This study was conducted between 2015-2017. The infested with mites of the bean leaves were collected from the field. Then put in polyethylene bags, and brought to the laboratory. The mites on the bean leaves were transferred to the petri dish with Potato Dexrose Aagar (PDA) by a brush at the laboratory. The petri dishes were incubated for growth and sporulation of the fungus (2 weeks in the incubator at 25±1ºC). As a result, six entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) ısolates were isolated from the cadaver of the Tetranychus urticae Koch, 1836(Acari: Tetranychidae) Four of them were Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (Deuteromycetes: Hyphomycetes) and two of them were Metharizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorokin (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes). After the identification of isolates, they have been coded and stored under refrigerator conditions for use in other studies at the Pharmaceutical Microbiology Laboratory of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University.
