Entomopathogenic Fungi for Climate-Resilient Pest Management: A Critical Appraisal of Ecology, Formulation, Field Efficacy and Emerging Technologies
Hypocrealean entomopathogenic fungi, chiefly species of Beauveria and Metarhizium, constitute the largest group of registered microbial agents for arthropod pest control. Their performance in the field depends on temperature, solar ultraviolet radiation and moisture, which are precisely the variables being reshaped by...
