Abstract

The small fruit crops covered in this chapter share many aspects of pest management that justify the research and development of microbial control agents. As perennial crops grown in relatively undisturbed soils, they offer subterranean entomopathogens a better chance to persist. In the past, consumer demands for high quality small fruit with little cosmetic damage and for products with no insect contamination have precluded the use of microbial controls.
