Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) have primarily been applied as an inundative approach to manage pests. However, in recent decade multifunctional role of EPF have been documented which provide multiple benefits to host plants when colonized as an endophyte. In this study five fungal isolates from the genus Beauveria (three), Isaria (one) and Lecanicillium (one) were evaluated for their ability to colonize common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris and to assess their effects in plants on plant growth promotion and possible negative effects on the two-spotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae. All the tested isolates in this study were able to endophytically colonize root, stem and even leaves of inoculated plants examined at 7 and 14 days post inoculation, indicating the systemic colonization of EPF. Colonized plants showed increased plant heights, fresh shoot and root weights compared to plants without inoculation. Survivorship of T. urticae significantly differed among the treatments with higher survival probability in control plants. Significant reduction in larval development, adult longevity and female fecundity of spider mites were observed when fed on treated plants compared to control plants. The negative effects were found to be carried over the second generation fed on fresh plants. Overall, our results show (i) the positive effects of fungal endophytes on plant growth, (ii) reduction in population growth rate and (iii) negative effects of endophytes on growth and reproduction of spider mites in successive generations. The study presents reports on the endophytic management of plant-feeding mites and highlights the possibility of utilizing entomopathogenic fungal endophytes in the integrated pest management program.
