Abstract

During an entomological survey con­ducted to identify entomopathogens of the sugar cane borer Diatraea saccharalis F. in the sugar cane growing area of Río Negro (Cundinamarca), it was found that the fungus Paecilomy­ces sp. was affecting from 6.97% (La Magdalena area) to 9.16% (Villeta area) of the larvae of the insect. This is the first record of Paecilomyces sp. on D. saccharalis larvae in Colom­bia. It is considered that this fungus may become an additional tool in the in­tegrated control programs of this pest in the country. Other fungi found also associated with larvae of the insect were Fusarium oxisporum, Penicillium sp. and Asper­gillus sp. which are considered as secon­dary pathogens.
