Biocontrol potential of Metarhizium spp. against Myzus persicae and beet mild yellowing virus in the post-neonicotinoid era

Key Points

• Biocontrol agents effectively reduce myzus persicae populations, enhancing crop health.
• Key outcome showed a significant decrease in virus transmission rates due to biocontrol efforts.
• Analysis of interventions using metarhizium fungi was employed in agricultural settings.
• Sustainable pest management using biocontrol options may reduce reliance on harmful chemicals.
