[Study on the physiological activities of the metabolites from Paecilomyces arovirens].
The metabolites of Paecilomyces arovirens exhibited insecticidal activities to many inscct pcsts, including cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii, hawthorn Ispidcr mitc, Tetranychus viennensis and larvae of imported cabbage worm, Pietis rapae. A comparison was made between the metabolites of P. arovirens and naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) in wheat (Triticum aestivum) and water melon (Cucumis sativus) bioassays on their physiological effects. Results demonstrated that some of the metabolites physiological activities of P. arovirens are same to that of NAA, some are different between them. It indicate that there is a new kind or many kinds of plant growth regulator in the metabolites and need further analysized. The results can offer reference for exploiting a new insecticid which not only can control insect pests, but also increase plant growth.
