OCCURRENCE IN THE SOIL AND DISPERSAL OF Lecanicillium lecanii, A FUNGAL PATHOGEN OF THE GREEN COFFEE SCALE (Coccus viridis) AND COFFEE RUST (Hemileia vastatrix)
The fungus Lecanicillium lecanii attacks the green scale (Coccus viridis), a pest of coffee, and is also a hyperparasite of coffee rust (Hemileia 2005 buick century starter vastatrix).Knowledge of the epizootiology of this fungus is potentially important for conservation biological control in coffee agroecosystems.The presence of viable propagules
