Dual effects of <i>Metarhizium</i> spp. and <i>Clonostachys rosea</i> against an insect and a seed‐borne pathogen in wheat

Abstract

This study clearly shows that seed treatments with both the entomopathogenic fungus M. brunneum and the mycoparasitic fungus C. rosea can protect plant roots from insects and disease. The dual-treatment approach to biological control presented here is consistent with the ideals of IPM strategies.
