Biotechnology for cultivar improvement was introduced in the early 1990s. Collabor...
Endophytic Beauveria bassiana in sugarcane and associated Eldana saccharina host plants in South AfricaNARA Subscribed
Eldana saccharina Walker is a problematic sugarcane stalk borer pest in South Africa. Twenty-eight sugarcane genotypes ( Saccharum spp. hybrids) and seven different species of host plants of E. saccharina were surveyed for the presence of endophytic Beauveria bassiana sensu lato ( s.l. ). Collectively, 326 plant samples (roots, stems, or leaves) were collected from five locations in sugarcane-producing areas (KwaZulu-Natal; So...
