ARS scientists have developed a method for producing microsclerotia of Metarhizium anisopliae, a fungus that may help combat the sugarbeet root maggot and other soil-dwelling pests. Here, technician Angela Payne adds nutrients to a 100-liter fermentor in preparation for a microsclerotia production run using M. anisopliae.
