Grapevine Responses to the Entomopathogenic Fungi and and the Effects of Salicylic Acid on Their Virulence Against the European Grapevine Moth, .

Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are substantial biocontrol agents reducing the populations of economically important pests in numerous crops. Recent findings indicate that their role in agroecosystems is more complex and extends to affecting plant physiology and growth. This study examined the effects of and , as well as Salicylic acid (SA), on physiological parameters of grapevine ( cv.

Three Methods Assessing the Association of the Endophytic Entomopathogenic Fungus with Non-Grafted Grapevine .

Characterizing the association of endophytic insect pathogenic fungi (EIPF) with plants is an important step in order to understand their ecology before using them in biological control programs. Since several methods are available, it is challenging to identify the most appropriate for such investigations. Here, we used two strains of : EF3.
