Question
Why are fungal insecticides an attractive alternative to
chemical pesticides for growing food crops?
a. Human consumption of fungal insecticides would
not make a person sick, but ingestion of chemical
pesticides can be harmful to humans.
b. A single fungal insecticide would kill a wider
variety of insects than a chemical pesticide.
c. Fungal insecticides can eliminate both harmful
insects and plant pathogens, while chemical
pesticides only kill insects.
d. Fungal insecticides will decompose dying plants,
enhancing the nitrogen content of the soil, while
chemical pesticides are not decomposers.
