Effect of till and no-till soybean cultivation on dynamics of entomopathogenic fungi in the soil
Florida Entomologist 77 (2), 284-287
Abstract: Cultural practices influence propagule densities of entomopathogenic fungi in agroecosystems. An experiment was conducted in Brazil to evaluate the prevalence of Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Paecilomyces spp. in soil under no-till and conventional tillage systems. The no-till cultivation favored the prevalence of the three fungus species when compared with the conventional tillage system.
