Fungal seed treatments of cotton affect boll weevil development
Pest Management Science, 2023 AbstractBACKGROUNDNonpathogenic fungi associated with plants can enhance plant defenses against stress factors, including herbivory. This study assessed whether cotton plants grown from seeds treated with different fungi affected boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, development and reproduction along with plant tolerance.
