Abstract excerpt
Epizootics of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium rileyi regulate lepidopteran populations in soybean, cotton, and peanut agroecosystems to the point that insecticide applications could be unnecessary. However, the contribution and how different strains operate during the epizootic are unknown. Several unanswered questions remain: 1. How many genotypes of M. rileyi are present during an epizootic? 2. Which...
