Since 2016, the fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda has spread over extensive areas of tropics and subtropics, imperiling food security, economic progress livelihoods millions cereal farmers. Although FAW received long-standing scientific attention in its home range Americas, chemical inputs feature prominently mitigation biological control uptake is globally lagging. Here, building upon a quantitative review global literature, we methodically dissect science. Of known entomopathogens...
Within the context of ecofriendly alternatives to neonicotinoids, we explored direct and endophytic potential two Beauveria bassiana isolates, GHA from BotaniGard new endemic isolate GxABT-1, against Sugar Beet Mild Yellow Virus (BMYV)-Myzus persicae pathosystem. A mortality rate 96 91% was registered after 8 days treatment with Gx-ABT-1, respectively. To assess impact, sugar beet seeds were treated, ability fungi colonize plant assessed correlated aphids’ (1) life cycle, (2) attraction...
