Description
Couceiro and co-authors review insect-killing fungi as the base of greener pest control, in a 2025 paper. These fungi infect insects on contact, and products built on them already sell while the market keeps growing. The review focuses on how the fungi are packaged, since packaging decides shelf life, strength, and cost.
Current products come as powders, oil mixes, and other forms carrying spores or hardy resting bodies. Newer tricks such as nanoparticle coating show promise. The authors stress two stubborn problems: keeping the fungi alive through storage and travel, and shielding them from harsh field conditions, alongside slow approval rules in major markets.
