This review explores the efficacy of Beauveria bassiana as a biocontrol agent targeting adult
hoppers, crucial pests in agriculture. Beauveria bassiana, a fungal entomopathogen, shows
promising potential due to its eco-friendly nature and specificity in targeting hoppers. Through a
comprehensive analysis of existing literature, this review elucidates the mechanisms underlying
its effectiveness, including infection dynamics, host specificity, and environmental factors
influencing efficacy. Key findings highlight the significant impact of B. bassiana on hopper
populations and its potential as a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides. The synthesis of
current knowledge aims to guide further research and application of B. bassiana in integrated pest
management strategies.
