Fungal Diversity In And Around Termite Mound, Mound Material Analysis, And Response Of Subterranean Termite, Globitermes Sulphureus (Haviland) (Blattodea: Termitidae) To Fungi

Nowadays, many researchers are trying to develop biological control methods using fungi to control insect pests including termites. This study explored the termite-fungus relationship using Globitermes sulphureus (Haviland) as the model species. Isolation, purification and identification of fungi di...
