Entomopathogenic microorganisms in locusts and grasshoppers populations and prospects for their use for control of this pest group

Entomopathogenic microorganisms in locusts and grasshoppers populations and prospects for their use for control of this pest group

Brief information on the main groups of microorganisms parasitizing on locusts and grasshoppers is given. It has been shown that viral and most bacterial infections have no practical prospects, both as natural regulators of density populations and as potential producers of bioinsecticides. Alpha-pro...
