Preliminary study of the antifungal activity of fermented plant extract against Metarhizium anisopliae, Beauveria bassiana and Isaria fumosorosea

Widespread use of chemical pesticides such as fungicides represents a potential risk to human and the environment. Therefore, the search for alternative strategies in pest control is timely to overcome this problem. One of the most important control is biological control using entomopathogenic fu...
