Zusammenfassung

We aim to explore the potential efficacy of a new control strategy, by using of endophytic and entomopathogenic fungi, isolated from cacao leaves, in combination with CO2 emitting capsules for termite control. We will determine whether subterranean termites are attracted to CO2 sources by behavioral observations in the laboratory and in the field. We will test the effect of a variety of CO2-generating sources on termites in the laboratory and in the field. We will explore the potential antagonistic activity of several strains of endophytic and/or entomopathogenic fungi against subterra...
