摘要: Despite many advances in pest control, including the transgenic expression of insect toxic proteins crop plants, insects continue to represent serious competition for food globally. Furthermore, resistance chemical insecticides (Charlesworth, 1998), Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt; Tabashnik et al., 1997) and Bt-transgenic crops (Tabashnik, suggests that protection alternatives should be exploited. One these is utilization entomopathogenic fungi, one most important factors regulating populations nature. Spectacular epizootics produced by fungi are known decimate grasshoppers, aphids, leafhoppers, soil-dwelling larvae other whose have potential explosive growth (Tanada Kaya, 1993).
