Edaphic Factor that Affect the Activity of Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium anisopliae

Abstract

Abstract: Metarhizium anisopliae is an important entomopathogenic fungus which is common and widely distributed in soil throughout the world. M. anisopliae plays an essential role in the regulation and control of soil pests and it is one of the most widely used biological insecticides. However, the efficiency of controlling soil pests is not steady, and one of the reasons is the activity of M. anisopliae affected by the complexity edaphic factors. The present article reviewed 5 edaphic factors that influence the activity of M. anisopliae, such as soil temperature and moisture, soil pH, edaphon and soil texture. New research direction about edaphic factor influencing on the activity of M. anisopliae was also discussed. The review would provide reference for further study of mechanism about the edaphic factors influencing life activities of M. anisopliae, which would be benefic to regulate and control soil pests using the M. anisopliae.
