Article Synopsis
- Understanding the host range of biocontrol agents (BCAs) like Beauveria fungi is crucial for assessing their economic benefits and risks to non-target organisms.
- The study aimed to evaluate the pathogenicity and virulence of three Beauveria strains against nine insect pests from three orders: Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, using mortality bioassays.
- Results showed significant differences in host range; both B. hoplocheli and B. bassiana were effective against Diptera and Lepidoptera, while specific strains targeted certain Coleoptera, with B. bassiana displaying higher virulence overall.
