Abstract
Entomopathogenic fungi have important roles in the natural regulation of many insect pests and pest populations. Several species of entomopathogenic fungi are being produced commercially and used as biological control agents against many insect pests in many parts of the world. They normally invade insects via the external cuticle and need not be ingested to initiate disease. This makes them prime candidates for use against plant and blood sucking insects. In Turkey, there are many insect pests in agricultural and forested area and, they cause great economic losses in these areas. Some studies showed that entomopathogenic fungi can be important biocontrol agents against many pest species in Turkey and, these pathogens have a potential to suppress population of some pest species in the field. In this review, we provide an overview of entomopathogenic fungi and the potential of entomopathogenic fungi for controlling some pest species
