for each EPF were compared, both<br />
B. bassiana and M. anisopliae s.l.<br />
appeared to reduce the wilting, but<br />
the plant health rating was not<br />
significantly different from the M.<br />
phaseolina treatment without EPF.<br />
This is the first report of the impact<br />
of EPF on M. phaseolina with some<br />
promise. The current study evaluated<br />
a single application of EPF. Additional<br />
studies under more uniform environmental<br />
conditions and with more<br />
treatment options would be useful to<br />
improve our understanding of EPF<br />
antagonizing M. phaseolina. When<br />
growers use EPF for controlling<br />
arthropod pests, they could count on<br />
additional benefits against diseases<br />
or improving general plant health.<br />
