Resumen
[ES] El control microbiológico de plagas se presenta como una alternativa sostenible y efectiva a los métodos tradicionales basados en pesticidas químicos. Este trabajo de fin de grado revisa la literatura existente sobre el uso de microorganismos entomopatógenos en la gestión de plagas agrícolas y urbanas. Se analizan diversos métodos de control microbiológico, incluyendo bioinsecticidas, hongos, virus y nematodos específicos, destacando sus mecanismos de acción y beneficios ambientales. Se presentan casos de éxito en diferentes cultivos y aplicaciones en salud pública, subrayando las ventajas del control biológico, como la reducción de la resistencia a plaguicidas y la menor toxicidad para el medio ambiente y los humanos.
