Technical Abstract:
Microorganisms (insect pathogens) that cause diseases in the insects, are instrumental in their natural control. Insect pathogens overwinter in soil, crop residue, insects, and insect cadavers. Because these organisms can survive the winter, they remain in the ecosystem and reduce populations of insects in the spring. The relationships between the pathogens, the environment, and insects are presented.
