Land-Use Type Drives Soil Population Structures of the Entomopathogenic Fungal Genus Metarhizium
Microorganisms, 2021 Species of the fungal genus Metarhizium are globally distributed pathogens of arthropods, and a number of biological control products based on these fungi have been commercialized to control a variety of pest arthropods. In this study, we investigate the

Mode of Infection of Metarhizium spp. Fungus and Their Potential as Biological Control Agents
Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2017 Chemical insecticides have been commonly used to control agricultural pests, termites, and biological vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks. However, the harmful impacts of toxic chemical insecticides on the environment, the development of resistance in ...
