ABILITY OF WAREHOUSE INSECTS TO TRANSMIT FUNGI ON STORED NUTS
Keywords:
Penicillium, results, officinalis, dominantAbstract
Given the importance of fruit and nut aggregates that can be stored and the many and varied insect pests they are exposed to, and the other damage that accompanies these insects, as they are considered one of the most important biological factors responsible for the infection and spread of fungi in warehouses, and the rot and damage caused by fungi to raw food materials, the study aimed to isolate fungi from nuts and demonstrate the ability of insects to transmit fungi to stored nuts. The results of isolation of fungi from damaged nuts were shown after growing them on potato dextrose medium at a temperature 25c the presence of An, Af, Fusarium fungi Penicillium, Rhizocotania and Rhizopus fungus. The results showed the dominance of Rhizopus fungus over the rest of the species. The fungi were isolated from insects, as the diagnostic results showed the presence of four types of fungi accompanying the insects officinalis, represented by Penicilliu , An, Af and Rizupus , and Penicillium fungi were dominant at 40% of the total fungi isolated. When testing the ability of insects to transmit fungi, the results showed the ability of storage insects to transmit three fungi, including An, Af , and Penicillium fungi.
