The Green Revolution led to an increased use of synthetic pesticides, causing environmental pollution. As alternative, biopesticides made from entomopathogenic agents such as fungi have been sought. This study aimed design and evaluate the performance a harvester machine for efficiently collecting spores Metarhizium anisopliae Beauveria bassiana grown on rice corn substrates. spore yield was es...

The entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium acridum in oil-based formulations (Green Muscle ® (GM)) is a biopesticide for locust control lacking side-effects on biodiversity, unlike chemical insecticides. Under controlled conditions, GM-treated locusts and grasshoppers attract predators, complementary advantage control. We assessed avian predation population of desert northern Niger aerially spraye...
