          Abstract

          As formigas cortadeiras atacam diversas culturas agrícolas, pastagens e os reflorestamentos, atuando sobre muitas espécies vegetais. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a patogenicidade dos fungos Beauveria bassiana (isolados AM 9 e JAB 06), Metarhizium anisopliae (isolados E 9 e AL) e Paecilomyces farinosus (isolados CG 189 e CG 195) a soldados de Atta sexdens sexdens, em condições de laboratório. Após a coleta em formigueiro isento de produtos fitossanitários, exemplares de soldados foram cuidadosamente separados em grupos de oito indivíduos e, a seguir, banhados em suspensões contendo 1,0 x 10(6), 1,0 x 10(7), 1,0 x 10(8) e 1,0 x 10(9) conídios/mL de cada isolado. Em seguida, cada grupo de formigas foi transferido para unidades de câmara úmida e mantido, sem alimentação, a 27 ± 1 ºC. A mortalidade foi verificada diariamente. Os três fungos se mostraram eficientes patógenos, pois provocaram alta mortalidade, matando mais que 80% dos soldados nos quatro primeiros dias após a inoculação. Os melhores isolados foram JAB 06 e AL, na concentração de 1,0 x 10(9) con./mL. Os isolados JAB 06, AL, CG 195 apresentaram maior capacidade de esporular nos cadáveres das formigas e os tempos letais decresceram com o aumento da concentração de conídios usada.

          Leaf-cutting ants attack several crops, pastures and the planted forests, acting on numerous vegetable species. The present work aimed to evaluate the pathogenicity of the fungi Beauveria bassiana (isolates AM 9 and JAB 06), Metarhizium anisopliae (isolates E 9 and Al) and Paecilomyces farinosus (isolates CG 189 and CG 195) against soldiers of Atta sexdens sexdens, in laboratory conditions. These fungi were inoculated on soldiers after collection in nests without pesticides application. Specimens of soldiers were separated in groups of eight insects, which were bathed in suspensions containing 1.0 x 10(6), 1.0 x 10(7), 1.0 x 10(8) and 1.0 x 10(9) conidia/ml. Following the bath, each group of ants was taken to moist chamber units, and maintained for a period of starvation under at 27 ± 1ºC. The mortality was updated on a daily basis. The three species of fungi were highly pathogenic to A. sexdens sexdens soldiers causing high mortality rates, above 80%, killing the ants in the first four days after inoculation. The bests isolates were JAB 06 and AL, at the concentration 1.0 x 10(9) con./ml. The isolates JAB 06, AL and CG 195 showed higher capacity of spore production on ant cadavers and there was a decrease in lethal time with the increase in the spore concentration used.
