Application Of Fungi

Research on the use of fungi to control flies has focused on increasing the number of infective spores during fly season, through the use of baits and "paints".
 

Commercial preparations of fungi, that can be applied using conventional spray equipment and baits, have been successfully developed for the control of cockroaches, grasshoppers (for field crops) and whiteflies, aphids and mites (in greenhouses).
 

However, formulations for fly control in livestock and poultry production are only available on a limited basis.

  Integrated fly control means using a two-pronged attack on flies: larvicides to prevent fly larvae developing into adults, and adulticides to kill adult flies.  
Larvicides
Economic Impact
In cattle, flies cause infectious keratoconjunctivitis or 'pink eye'.

Flies can pose a serious health hazard to both animals and humans, and have a significant impact on animal productivity.
