1. Entomopathogenic fungi were traditionally seen as needing humid conditions to work well.2. "Beauveria " species are white entomopathogenic fungi. 3. Most entomopathogenic fungi can be grown on artificial media. 4. Entomopathogenic nematode are chemical insecticides, they do not poison non-target animals.5. Biological alternatives as mite predators and entomopathogenic fungi have been reported with promising results. 6. A study published in 2008 identified several entomopathogenic nematodes that showed promise as biocontrol agents. 7. Examples of the top-down effects of entomopathogenic nematodes are not restricted to agricultural systems. 8. Another entomopathogenic nematode, " Steinernema carpocapsae ", will also attack this species. 9. Natural enemies include predatory entomopathogenic fungi such as " Lecanicillium lecanii " and the Entomophthorales. 10. Entomopathogenic fungi generally suppress pests by mycosis : causing a disease that is specific to the insect.
