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): “…negative effects on arthropod pests, both B. bassiana and Metarhizium spp. as plant inoculants have also been reported to improve plant growth (Garcia et al., 2011; Sasan and Bidochka, 2012; Liao et al., 2014; Jaber and Enkerli, 2016, 2017; Tall and Meyling, 2018) leading to higher yields…”
Can we use entomopathogenic fungi as endophytes for dual biological control of insect pests and plant pathogens (2018, methodology): “…optimal for enhancing colonization levels, suppressing insect and pathogen pests and providing plant growth promotion benefits (e.g., Posada et al., 2007; Akello et al., 2009; Tefera and Vidal, 2009; Garcia et al., 2011; Muvea et al., 2014; Russo et al., 2015; Jaber and Enkerli, 2016, 2017).”
Fungal entomopathogens as endophytes: can they promote plant growth? (2017, methodology): “M. anisopliae did not promote the growth of tomato plants when the lowest inoculation rate (8 × 107 conidia ml−1) was used (Garcia et al., 2011).”
