Abstract

Biological control is used for the regulation of pest insect populations and to avoid the induction of insect resistance due to the excessive use of agrochemicals, as well as to solve waste problems for the organic production of food. There are more than 750 species of entomopathogenic fungi that can be used for the biological control of pests, being Metarhizium anisopliae, one of the most used commercially. The objective of this review was to determine the most relevant issues regarding research concerning M. anisopliae during the period from 1976 to 2018. A revision was made in the meta search Scopus®, using as keyword Metarhizium anisopliae only in title for October 9, 2018. The main journals, countries and institutions that have published on the subject were identified. The data was analyzed using VOSviewer® software under the principle of co-occurrence of terms. The results show that this microorganism has been widely studied at an international level, especially in the period from 2008 to 2014. The investigations are concentrated in three clusters: production-activity, Beauveria bassiana and termites. It is concluded that this microorganism continues to be analyzed from a commercial perspective and because biological control agents tend to be local, their investigations will continue to concentrate on the development and characterization at the molecular level of local (native) strains with commercial potential.
