Abstract

Fungal entomopathogens are important biological control agents worldwide and have been the subject of intense research for more than 100 years. They exhibit both sexual and asexual reproduction and produce a variety of infective propagules. Their mode of action against insects involves attachment of the spore to the insect cuticle followed by germination, cuticle penetration, and internal dissemination throughout the insect. During this process, which may involve the production of secondary metabolites, the internal organs of the insect are eventually degraded. Environmental factors such as ultraviolet light, temperature, and humidity.
