The Impact of Insecticides on Mycelial Growth of Metarhizium spp. and Their Efficacy in Controlling Larvae and Pupae of the House Fly (Musca domestica L.)

Researchers tested special fungi (Metarhizium spp.) as a natural way to control house flies, which spread diseases and are becoming resistant to common pesticides. They found that two fungal strains were very effective at killing fly larvae and pupae, and these fungi could still grow well when combined with certain insecticides. This means farmers and pest control professionals could use these fungi together with specific pesticides as part of a more sustainable approach to controlling house flies without relying solely on chemicals.

The Impact of Insecticides on Mycelial Growth of Metarhizium spp. and Their Efficacy in Controlling Larvae and Pupae of the House Fly (Musca domestica L.)

This study tested fungal organisms called Metarhizium as a natural way to control house flies without relying solely on chemical insecticides. Researchers found that two fungal isolates were very effective at killing house fly larvae and pupae. Importantly, these fungi could still work well even when grown alongside certain pyrethroid insecticides, making them useful for integrated pest management approaches that combine multiple control methods.
