Endophytic colonisation of tobacco, corn, wheat and soybeans by the fungal entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota, Hypocreales)

We demonstrate the effectiveness of three inoculation methods (foliar spray, seed immersion and root immersion) in establishing fungal the entomopathogen <em>Beauveria bassiana</em> as an endophyte in tobacco, corn, wheat and soybean. Colonisation of leaves by <em>B. bassiana </...

Description
Summary:We demonstrate the effectiveness of three inoculation methods (foliar spray, seed immersion and root immersion) in establishing fungal the entomopathogen <em>Beauveria bassiana</em> as an endophyte in tobacco, corn, wheat and soybean. Colonisation of leaves by <em>B. bassiana </em>was assessed 7, 14, 21 and 28 days postinoculation. There were significant differences (p < 0.001)in endophytic colonisation among the different inoculation techniques.
