Abstract

Metarhizium anisopliae is a well-known entomopathogenic fungus active against many insect pests. This paper discusses the characteristics of M. anisopliae and related species of the same genus, its natural occurrence and host range, identifies the current target pest species and reports some new aspects in production and formulation; present safety data are summarized. Investigations on this fungus demonstrate that M. anisopliae can be an efficient biocontrol agent
