From soil to target: Investigating the role of native entomopathogenic fungi as biocontrol agents against Scaphoideus titanus ball (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in grapevines.
Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are promising biological control agents for the integrated pest management of Scaphoideus titanus Ball, the principal vector of Flavescence dorée phytoplasma in European vineyards. This study assessed the diversity, abundance, pathogenicity, and endophytic colonization ability of native EPF...
