This book is a multidisciplinary treatise with contributions by experts presented in a single volume and concerning the biology, physiology, ecology, protocols for production, integrated pest management strategies compatibility with Pochonia chlamydosporia, and other practical aspects of P. chlamydosporia use
There is a growing interest in the biopesticides market on products based on Pochonia chlamydosporia formulations. This volume covers those key aspects necessary to work with this biocontrol agent.
The potential use of the fungus, not only as biological control agent but as a plant growth promoter and biofertilizer, will help to diversify the application of the fungus in crop management
The phasing-out of methyl bromide and nematicides has intensified the search for chemical or biological alternatives to maintain crop production under more strict policies to control pests and diseases using innovative environmentally friendly approaches for which Pochonia chlamydosporia is capable of playing an important role
