Characterization and Virulence of Metarhizium anisopliae (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) Isolates from Ecologically Distinct Soils Against Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Abstract. Spodoptera litura (F.) infests over 380 plant species. Insecticide resistance and ecological risks underscore the need for biological alternative
