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): “…fungal secondary metabolites in planta could also be a possible mechanism for observed negative effects against herbivores (McKinnon et al., 2017; Jaber and Ownley, 2018), since fungal entomopathogens are a primary source of bioactive secondary metabolites with antimicrobial, insecticidal and…”
