abstract

• Entomopathogenic fungi are well-known as potential biocontrol agents against different insect pests. A wide spectrum of fungal species showed an extensive range of host specificity owing to their parasitic potential. Several classical and modern approaches are focused on evaluating the potential of entomopathogenic fungi to follow their compatibility, host specificity, and commercial formulations towards pest management. Due to their environmental compatibility, a variety of entomopathogenic fungal products are available on the market. Even though biopesticides have environmental compatibility, they are yet to be fully implemented in insect pest control and management due to their specificity in the selection of fungal isolates, large-scale production, formulations, and field applications. © 2025 Sunil K.
