Field persistence of entomopathogenic fungi and network-level associations within the soil microbial community as biocontrol agents

The effects of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) on native soil microbiota are poorly understood.

The effects of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) on native soil microbiota are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the persistence of the EPF Metarhizium brunneum and Beauveria bassiana as preventive treatments for date palms against the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus…
