Soil-borne entomopathogenic bacteria and fungi

Being rich in microorganisms, the soil is an ideal environment and important reservoir for harvesting various types of beneficial microorganisms. Soil-borne entomopathogenic bacteria and fungi have been regularly isolated around the world to support crop producer in the never-ending arms race of pes...

Fungi, on the other hand, remain relatively underutilized as natural enemies despite their many advantages over other biological and chemical products. They mainly classified under the class of Entomophthoromycetes and Sordariomycetes in the larger Ascomycota division, which consists around 65,000 described species.

Entomopathogenic bacteria and fungi can be released through inundative application methods and therefore play a critical role in integrated pest management (IPM) against several pests.
