Microbiome Innovation in Agriculture: Development of Microbial Based Tools for Insect Pest Management

Masroor Qadri, Sierra Short, Kalani Gast, Jordan Hernandez, Adam Chun-Nin Wong · 2020 · Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems

Summary. This review examines how microbes can improve sustainable pest management in agriculture. The authors explain how insect-microbe relationships affect pest nutrition, immunity, and pesticide resistance, then describe methods to manipulate microbiomes to alter pest traits. They identify microbiomes as sources for discovering new biopesticides and show how beneficial microbes enhance mass-reared insects used in sterile insect and incompatible insect control techniques.
