First report of Hirsutella thompsonii as an entomopathogenic fungus of hemp russet mite (Aculops cannabicola Farkas) in Kentucky
The hemp russet mite (HRM) is a damaging pest of indoor/greenhouse hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) with limited tools for management. In 2021, HRM was identified in University of Kentucky hemp field trials. Large numbers of darkened, dead HRM were observed on leaves and peduncles. Samples of the HRM were disinfested and plated on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Fungal identity was confirmed by amplifying the internal transcribed spacer of the rDNA followed by Sanger sequencing. The isolated fungus was identified as Hirsutella thompsonii with 100% identity. Pathogenicity was validated using detached leaves infested with healthy HRM. Only HRM from the H. thompsonii-inoculated treatment developed fungal growth, while HRM from the controls did not. This study confirmed the pathogenicity of H. thompsonii on HRM. Further research is warranted to improve our understanding of the potential use and efficacy of H. thompsonii as a sustainable management tool.
