Chemical pesticides tend to accumulate in soil, resulting human and environmental health risks. Hence, alternative methodologies involving chemical are beneficial for the control of agricultural pests. Metarhizium anisopliae is an entomopathogenic fungus that acts on different developmental stages pest insects such as Diatraea saccharalis, a holometabolic lepidopteran with high potential infestation sugarcane crops. The present study evaluated biocontrol effect M. isolates MT E9 D....
Studies have reported the resurgence of insect pests that are resistant to chemical and, more recently, biological pesticides. Diatraea saccharalis is one main in sugarcane crops and responsible for large losses sugar alcohol industries. The use plant extracts including garlic essential oil (Allium sativum) which contains allicin, a compound interferes with biochemical physiological factors target insects considered an efficient sustainable alternative integrated pest management. objective...
