Article Synopsis
- Alternatives to neonicotinoids are essential for controlling cereal aphids, and two formulations of Beauveria bassiana strains (Bb and TBb) were tested against them in a winter wheat crop.
- In field trials, both fungal treatments significantly reduced aphid infestation and density compared to control, with TBb showing higher efficacy than Bb.
- Although imidacloprid had quicker effects, its efficacy varied more, suggesting that the fungal options are viable contenders for aphid management.
