Entomopathogenic Microorganisms in Pest Control

This cluster of papers explores the use of entomopathogenic fungi, such as Metarhizium and Beauveria bassiana, as biocontrol agents for insect pests. It covers topics such as biological control, genomic sequencing, endophytic colonization, and the use of nematodes as biocontrol agents. The research also delves into the ecological factors, safety, and potential applications of these fungi in integrated pest management.
