Entomopathogenic fungus \kur{Metarhizium anisopliae} - biological characterization
KONOPICKÁ, Jana
Entomopathogenic fungus \kur{Metarhizium anisopliae} is one of the most common species used in biological control. Fungus \kur{M. anisopliae} occurs in humid and warm environments. Fungus is able to cause the primary diseases of insect living in soil or on the soil surface. The fungus is widely polyphagous and parasites on a wide range of insects belong to more than 50 orders (Orthoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera and Coleoptera). The bachelor´s thesis is focused on a detailed description of the fungus \kur{M. anisopliae} and also characteristic of the other six major genera of fungi used in biological control (\kur{Beauveria, Hirsutella, Isaria, Nomuraea, Paecilomyces, Lecanicillium}) including description of development cycle of entomopathogenic fungi. The thesis also contains a detailed description of the four commercially available biological products based on this fungus \kur{M. anisopliae} (Met52, Green Muscle?, BioCane and BIO-Blast) and examples of practical use of biopreparate Met52 on the selected host.

Entomopathogenic fungus Isaria fumosorosea
OUŠKOVÁ, Šárka
Entomopathogenic fungus Isaria fumosorosea is among the species of entomopathogenic fungi used in biological control. Species I. fumosorosea has wide host range of insects in which is able to cause the primary diseases. Fungus I. fumosorosea most often infects greenhouse pests, such as aphids, thrips and mealybugs. I. fumosorosea is a pathogen, which naturally occurs in whiteflies populations, especially greenhouse whitefly T. vaporariorum and cotton whitefly B. tabaci. The Bachelor´s thesis is focused on a detailed description of the fungus I. fumosorosea and also characteristics of the other major genera of fungi (Beauveria, Hirsutella, Metarhizium, Nomuraea, Paecilomyces, Lecanicillium) including description of development cycle of entomopathogenic fungi. The thesis also contains a detailed description of the commercially available biological products based on I. fumosorosea (PFR-97, PreFeRal? a PreFeRal, NoFly) and their advantages and disadvantages, efficacy and general application of biological products on European market.
