Virulence of Verticillium lecanii Isolates in Aphids Determined by Detached-leaf Bioassay'
- Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 51(3), p.250-258, 1988 .
The virulence of three Verticiliium lecanii isolates, designated as VL4, VL6, and VLlO, was studied by treating three aphid species, Myzus persicae, Aphis gossypii, and Aphis citricola, with the entomopathogen. Treated aphids were transferred to detached leaves of Citrus aurantifoliu on 1
