The entomopathogenic fungi Neozygites and Batkoa, from the phylum Entomophthoromycota, are known to cause epizootics in populations of two spotted spider-mite (Tetranychus urticae) and sugarcane leafhopper (Mahanarva fimbriolata), respectively, and for being more demanding in terms of cultivation in a liquid medium compared with ascomycetes fungi. Alternatively, little is known about the …
The agriculture market for organic products grows between 15-20% per year in Brazil. Entomopathogenic fungi make up most biological products registered for pest control in the country. Almost all of these products are based on aerial conidia, from solid fermentation using grains as a substrate of only four species of ascomycete fungi, pathogenic to arthropod pests, Metarhizium anisopliae,…
