Aims to develop better testing methods for the detection and enumeration of fungi in foods. This work is based on a workshop that was held in the Netherlands, where recommendations for methods to be adopted were prepared and agreed on. These are sumarised at the end, along with a section on the mycological methods and media.
Biological insecticides are competing more and more with traditional chemical pesticides. A successful application of natural pathogens requires a better understanding of both fungal and insect ecology and physiology. This Atlas provides a comprehensive overview of these fields and includes the taxonomy of those species of fungi which are proven pathogens. Biotechnological methods for the genetic modification of these natural pathogens resulting in further optimization and the advantages of biological control are discussed.
