In addition, the researchers observed high mortality of bush lupine in the absence of entomopathogenic nematodes.

Biological pesticides based on entomopathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses cause disease in the pest species can also be used.
13.
In contrast, entomopathogenic nematodes parasitize insects and are mostly considered beneficial by humans, but some attack beneficial insects.
14.
Not only do entomopathogenic nematodes affect their host insects, they can also change the species composition of the soil community.
15.
Biological pest control agents found to be effective against this insect include the entomopathogenic fungus " Beauveria bassiana ".
16.
Several fungal diseases infect and kill adult cicadas while another entomopathogenic fungus, " Cordyceps " spp ., attacks nymphs.
17.
A study found that the entomopathogenic fungus, " Cephalosporium lecanii ", was highly effective in controlling coffee green scale.
18.
The entomopathogenic view has gained support from observations of increased fungal growth in response to induced plant defenses and colonization of plant tissues.
19.
Similarly, entomopathogenic nematodes are released at rates of millions and even billions per acre for control of certain soil-dwelling insect pests.
