Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Entomogenous Fungi as Biocontrol Agents of Arthropod Pests

There has been a great amount of research effort dedicated to attempting to employ pest diseases and pathogens into biocontrol agents that can be used to attack those arthropods society views as pests. Biological control is described as the practice by which the undesirable effects of a pest organism are reduced through the activity of another organism that is not the host, is not a pest or isn’t a human. ^[1]
