Screening for tolerance to bavistin, a benzimidazole fungicide containing methyl benzimidazol-2-yl carbamate (MBC), in Beauveria bassiana: sequence analysis of the beta-tubulin gene to identify mutations conferring tolerance.

Abstract excerpt

The entomopathogenic Beauveria bassiana is a potential biopesticide. Fungicide-tolerant isolates of this fungus would have an added advantage of being compatible with the conventional chemical methods of pest control. Therefore, 30 isolates of the fungus were screened for tolerance to bavistin a commonly used benzimidazole fungicide containing methyl benzimidazol-2-yl carbamate (MBC). Germination and growth...
