- Intervention effect Foliar spray favours leaf colonization by the endophyte in tea, compared with soil drenching.
- Intervention effect Soil drenching favours root colonization by the endophyte in tea, compared with foliar spray.
- Intervention effect Infestation by aphid Toxoptera aurantii and tea mosquito bug Helopeltis theivora was lower in the treated plot than in the untreated control.
- Recommendation Foliar spray with M. anisopliae is suggested as a biological control approach against aerial pests in tea, with soil drench for soil arthropods.
- Observation The entomopathogen was confirmed inside the host plant tissue by light and electron microscopy.
- Observation The original and endophytic reisolated cultures of M. anisopliae were 100% identical.
- Observation Many other fungal isolates were recovered as endophytes from tea.
