Fungal-Based Biopesticide Formulations to Control Nymphs and Adults of the Desert Locust, <i>Schistocerca gregaria</i> Forskål (Orthoptera: Acrididae): A Laboratory and Field Cage Study

This is the first field study in which we have tested the efficacy of four different entomopathogenic fungal (EPF) formulations together in single study—i.e., Green Muscle, Green Guard, <i>Metarhizium anisopliae</i>, and an isolate of <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> (isolate WG-11)...
