Keywords:
Notes: Entomopathogenic fungi represent a low environmental impact alternative to controlling this insect pest, and the genus Fusarium has been described as a promising agent for that task. This work represents an initial study directed toward the biological control of Dctylopius opuntiae/i> using novel isolates from the FIESC.
