Effects of bean seed treatment by the entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium robertsii and Beauveria bassiana on plant growth, spider mite populations and behavior of predatory mites (2019, background): “Similar spatial segregation patterns of the fungal genera were reported by Behie et al. (2015) under laboratory and field conditions, where M. robertsii was restricted to the roots of haricot bean plants (P. vulgaris) while B. bassiana was found throughout the plant, indicating specific variation…”
Transient endophytic colonization of melon plants by entomopathogenic fungi after foliar application for the control of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) (2017, background): “Behie et al. (2015) reported differential localization of fungal species in the plant 60 days after inoculation, with Beauveria preferring aerial parts and Metarhizium preferring the roots, and they suggested that they adopted this configuration because of the environmental conditions; indeed,…”
