Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to present recent research on any aspect of fungi and their secondary metabolites, which can be used for pest biocontrol in agriculture and forestry. Reviews, original research, and communications are welcome. This issue will be focused on, among other relevant topics: (1) entomopathogenic fungi or mycoinsecticides; (2) mycoparasitic fungi or mycofungicides; (3) weed-parasitic fungi or mycoherbicides; (4) nematophagous fungi or myconematocides; and (5) fungal secondary metabolites used to control insects, weeds, plant disease, and nematodes.
