The book explores the diverse roles of entomopathogenic organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes, in microbial pest control. It emphasizes the environmental benefits of these organisms over conventional pesticides, such as safety for humans and non-target species, reduced pesticide residues, enhanced natural enemy activity, and increased biodiversity. Additionally, it examines the complex symbiotic relationships between fungi and insects, ranging from mutualism to parasitism, highlighting the varying biological strategies of entomopathogenic fungi.
