Survival of Beauveria brongniartii in the soil after application as a biocontrol agent against the European cockchafer Melolontha melolontha

The rapiddecrease of the fungus in the absence of the host gives further evidence of the highspecificity of the fungi and that asaprophytic multiplication without the host is likely and that the two methods may select for differentfungal strains.
