The bark beetle has been considered one of the main forest pests that causing serious damage to agricultural crops and trees by feeding on plant bark, affecting the health of ecosystems. In recent decades, the use of chemical pesticides has been the traditional method of control, generating negative impacts on the environment, pest resistance and threats to human health. For this reason, research is being conducted on the production and application of entomopathogenic fungi, such as Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, as a biological and sustainable alternative that acts as a biological control agent. These fungi can be produced using traditional methods in solid, liquid and biphasic states, involving the use of agro-industrial waste as a low-cost and easily accessible substrate for their growth. The use of waste reduces pollution and promotes ecological balance. Scientific publications and texts show that entomopathogenic fungi inoculated into agro-industrial substrates are suitable for controlling pests, mainly bark beetles. This promotes environmental and agricultural sustainability, mitigating environmental damage and favoring residence in production systems.
