Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Biological control has stood out, particularly in recent years, as a sustainable and environmentally friendly method to control arthropod pests that cause significant economic losses in agriculture, and negatively impact animal and human health. This Research Topic encompasses the contribution of eleven original research articles that demonstrate the use of entomopathogenic fungi to control important arthropod pests, and provides much-needed new knowledge that will improve the use of entomopathogenic fungi as biocontrol agents.
