斯泰伦博斯大学的研究人员确定了有效的昆虫病原真菌来控制耐药的羊毛苹果蚜虫。 Stellenbosch University researchers identify effective entomopathogenic fungi to control resistant woolly apple aphids.

南非Stellenbosch大学的研究人员已经查明了有效控制羊毛苹果虫(对苹果树的一种主要害虫)的某些诱虫病原真菌,这种害虫对化学杀虫剂产生抗药性。 Researchers at Stellenbosch University in South Africa have identified certain entomopathogenic fungi that effectively control the woolly apple aphid, a major pest to apple trees that has developed resistance to chemical insecticides. 在6种经过试验的物种中,有3种在杀虫方面表现出迅速的功效。 Out of six tested species, three showed rapid efficacy in killing the aphids. 该小组旨在进一步测试这些天然环境中的真菌,并与当地公司合作,大规模生产这些真菌,作为化学治疗的可持续替代品。 The team aims to further test these fungi in natural settings and collaborate with local companies to mass-produce them as a sustainable alternative to chemical treatments.
