D.  aBeans.h[electronic resource]  c2019  ap. 263-275.  aThe research on insect pathogens of bean/cowpea in Brazil had great improvement after a project was initiated with Bean/Cowpea Collaborative Research Support Program (Bean/Cowpea CRSP) supported by Boyce Thompson Institute (BTI) in collaboration with the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa Rice and Beans) from 1981 through 1993. Besides the basic and applied research, training and germplasm conservation of entomopathogenic fungi had also been an important element of the project. Almost 300 strains have been collected and stored in liquid nitrogen at Invertebrate Fungal Collection at Embrapa Genetic Resources and Biotechnology (Brasília, DF, Brazil) and the Agricultural Research Service Collection of Entomopathogenic Fungal Cultures (Ithaca, New York) (Roberts and Quintela 1990). A review of the most important pest of beans considering the ones that has more information about their natural enemies will be addressed in this chapter.  aBeans  aBiological control  aCowpeas  aFruit flies  aLepidoptera  aControle Biológico  aFeijão  aInimigo Natural  aMosca das Frutas  aPhaseolus Vulgaris  aPraga  aSolo  aMineiros de folhas1 aCOSTA-LIMA, T.
