Catalog description

Explores various entomopathogenic microorganisms, their modes of infection, and use in microbial control as a part of integrated pest management (IPM) and also as model systems in biological disciplines. Allows an understanding of the potential of entomopathogens, the various biotic and abiotic factors that influence their efficacy, and the strategies for using them successfully. Provides some examples of incorporating entomopathogens in IPM programs and challenges to develop microbial control strategies for a particular pest or major pests of a particular crop.
