Entomopathogenic Microorganisms in Pest Control

No abstract yet.

The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), is a globally important agricultural pest whose management is increasingly challenged by widespread insecticide resistance, prompting interest in alternative and sustainable control strategies such as endophytic fungi. This study evaluated the effects of two endophytic f…

This review explores the innovative approaches in the development of next-generation biopesticides, focusing on molecular and microbial strategies for effective control of fungal plant pathogens. As agricultural practices increasingly seek sustainable solutions to combat plant diseases, biopesticides have emerged as a…

ABSTRACT Root-knot nematodes (RKN; Meloidogyne spp.) are among the most damaging plant-parasitic nematodes worldwide and present a growing threat to global food production as their geographical ranges expand. Despite their importance, the geographical distributions, proliferation risks and crop-level impacts of major…

The importance of entomopathogenic fungi in the control of stored-product pests has increased significantly due to their potential as sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides. This laboratory study investigated the efficacy of four entomopathogenic fungal strains against the third i…

ABSTRACT The tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta , poses a severe global agricultural threat due to its rapid leaf-mining behavior and swift development of resistance to conventional chemical pesticides. While microbial chitinases are potent biopesticides, their field efficacy is limited by environmental degradation and t…

Entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium brunneum are important biological control agents, but their relatively slow action can limit efficiency. Essential oils, rich in bioactive compounds, represent potential complementary tools due to their insecticidal and repellent properties. The present…

The comment raises three principal themes: (i) safeguarding statistical independence through grouping at the level of specimen/collector/site prior to splitting, (ii) preventing selection bias via fully nested preprocessing and hyperparameter tuning, and (iii) assessing shortcut learning and reporting probability cali…

In this study the effects of culture filtrate of the native Beauveria bassiana BIM-001 isolate on tomatoes grown in pre-infested soil with root-knot nematodes in combination with different treatments. Fifteen different treatments involving single and multiple applications, with two controls, were utilized in the study…
