Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microbial Control is a strongly growing sector within the framework of Biological Control. Integrated Pest Management methods need to be developed to avoid the widespread use of insecticides and to minimize effects on non-target organisms. Studies on approaches, including the use of microbial insecticides and entomopathogens (fungi, viruses, bacteria, nematodes, protozoa) go in this direction.
The articles in this Special Issue will focus on the different fields of Insect Pathology in Biological Control and the author scientists could contribute with their expertise to provide an update to the current Microbiological Control Panel.
