Project code: JKI-BI-08-1254
Contract period: 01.06.2017 - 31.12.2019
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: endophytes, Corythucha arcuata, Thaumetopoea processionea, Lymantria dispar, Melolontha spp.

The aim of this project is to establish different Beauveria species as endophytes in oak leaves and roots as biocontrol agents against several pest insects on oaks. Special focus is on the oak lace bug (Corythucha arcuata), the oak processionary moth (Thaumetopoea processionea), the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) and on root feeding grubs, especially on cockchafers (Melolontha spp.).
