Review on safety of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Beauveria brongniartii (2007, background): “The present state of Beauveria products registered or under commercial development is summarised in Table II (Butt et al. 2001; Wraight et al. 2001; Copping 2004; Zimmermann 2005; Kabaluk & Gazdik 2005).”
Fungal entomopathogens: new insights on their ecology (2009, background): “Most research on entomopathogenic fungi has been aimed at developing them as inundative biological control agents of insects, mites and ticks, despite great potential for use in conservation and classical biocontrol strategies (Butt et al. 2001; Goettel et al. 2005; Vincent et al. 2007).”
Entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents (2003, background): “Recent reviews by Roberts and Hajek (1992), Burges (1998), Fuxa (1998), Jackson et al. (2000) and Butt et al. (2001) provide further information and case studies.”
Ecological considerations in producing and formulating fungal entomopathogens for use in insect biocontrol (2010, background): “…the past 50 years, the control of insects, weeds, and plant diseases with fungal pathogens has been a very active area of research and has resulted in a large number of commercially-available products (Butt et al. 2001; Charudattan 2001; Wraight et al. 2001; Fravel 2005; Faria and Wraight 2007).”
