Opis

The pathogenic fungi of insect pests are one of the promising biological control elements, and they were identified early before the rest of the other pathogens. Despite recent advances in microbial insect pathology research, the study of fungal diseases of insects has attained a modest amount of this progress, because the greater research effort has been directed. To study the bacteria and virus that can be used as tools for biological control of agricultural insect pests.The first person to refer to the possibility of using pathogens in controlling insect pests was the famous French scientist Louis Pasteur in 1870.The pathogenic fungi of insect pests are one of the promising biological control elements, and they were identified early before the rest of the other pathogens.
