Production, characterization and pesticidal potential of Bacillus species metabolites against sugar ant (Camponotus consobrinus)

The use of biopesticides in pest management and pre-harvest disease and crop pest control have been advocated in recent years. This is because of their eco-friendliness and suitability for pest control in the agricultural industry. The objective of this study was to determine the antibacterial and p...

The objective of this study was to determine the antibacterial and pesticidal potential against sugar ant of metabolites produced by Bacillus species.
