“…In contrast, topical and dietary exposure to the mBCA Beauveria bassiana was observed to have no effect. Given the diversity of exposure routes, and high levels of exposure in systems where mBCAs are applied during bloom, especially when acting as entomovectors of these disease treatments, more work concerning sublethal effects in agricultural systems is needed.…”

Disease management is critical to ensuring healthy crop yields and is often targeted at flowers because of their susceptibility to pathogens and direct link to reproduction. Many disease management strategies are unsustainable however because of the potential for pathogens to evolve resistance, or nontarget effects on beneficial insects. Manipulating the floral microbiome holds some promise as a sustainable alternative to chemical means of disease control. In this perspective, we discuss the current state of research concerning floral microbiome assembly and management in agroecosystems as well as future directions aimed at improving the sustainability of disease control and insect-mediated ecosystem services.
