Harnessing Entomopathogenic Fungi for Sustainable Management of Sucking Insect Pests in Rice Ecosystems

Rice production is increasingly challenged by sucking insect pests, particularly the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens), white-backed planthopper (Sogatella furcifera), green leafhoppers (Nephotettix spp.) and rice bugs (Leptocorisa spp.). This review evaluates entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) as biological tools for t...
