field, combating with the Colorado potato beetle using local strains, determination of the age and phase
sensitivity of the Colorado potato beetle to selected strains, and also the efficacy of strains of the
entomopathogenic
fungus of the genus Beauveria in suppressing the number of larvae of the Colorado potato
beetle, etc.
Thus, the entomopathogenic fungus
B. bassiana is attracting increased attention as a potential tool for
biological control of insect pests. Understanding the mechanisms of fungal pathogenesis in insects will
provide a rational basis for strain selection and improvement.
