Abstract

In the natural world, entomopathogenic fungi are crucial for maintaining the population balances of agricultural pests and disease-carrying organisms. It is impossible to fully address the limitations of mycoinsecticides for field pest management by enhancing a single fungal biocontrol property. Thus, it is desirable to use genetic engineering to increase the biocontrol capability of entomopathogenic fungi in numerous ways. By breaching the host's cuticle, they have the capability to propagate. When coupled with attempts to boost fungal virulence and stress resilience through genetic modifications, comprehending entomopathogenic fungi could improve the economic effectiveness of employing mycoinsecticides for pest control in agricultural environments. Additional research is necessary to elucidate the gene-for-gene connections in fungus-insect interaction models, given the advancing knowledge of fungal diseases in plants and humans.
