Optimisation of fungal bio-control agent for varroa mite (PH24001)
This project aims to develop and optimise fungal biological control agents to combat Varroa destructor, a parasitic mite responsible for significant honeybee colony losses worldwide. By creating a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to chemical treatments, this research supports an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to enhance honeybee health and safeguard global pollination-dependent agriculture.
